neutral  Suzanne Blangsted (X): acid fast steel IS stainless steel // stainless steel is resistant to corrosive material due to its mollecular structure.

  -> Read EN-1.4301 and EN-1.4404!!!

agree  pcovs: Sven: You are so right //Blangsted: You are wrong - not all stainless steel is resistant to acid, so you must translate it differently - my husband is a smith and has worked with this for many years! ;o)
