RE: [DMCForum] stainless cleaner

I hope I remember this correctly, and anyone please feel free to correct
this as it has been awhile since my material science classes.

Stainless steel contains Chromium, and I believe SS304 is at least 12% Cr.
When the surface is scratched, the Cr reacts with oxygen faster than the
steel, creating the protective layer of Chromium Oxide CrO3.
