reducing iron in SS by soaking it in slat water

[newbie123]

How much Iron is in 304 and 316L stainless steel?  I'm having a hard time finding info.

Those of you that are on well water may have a watersoftener with an additional Iron Out Container which contains a very harsh chemical that removes the iron oxide in your drinking water.
One is Potassium Permanganate  (KMnO4) and the other I do not remember but it came in a crystallized form and it stings  when  breathing in the fumes.Its called by other trade Names like White Brite.

Nice advice, I think I should add it to my well too .

For steel grade see this, the one at bottom:

For flatware 18/8 means 18% chromium, 8% nickel.



Yesterday I try burning the SS lightly to produce the same color as the real one (gold color). But the light brownish dissapear right away when electrolysis starting.

Please do not add this to your well these chemical are highly toxic and are used in conjunction with a watersoftener  and get metered and processed.the only thing i added to my well was chlorine as it was 23feet deep with an diameter of 56 inches lots of water wanted to kill the bad odor and it worked.
Thought I better advise before you get illor die from that nasty s.it.

I got a call back about the carbon raptor coating people at ExtremeIon.  The coating is 2-4 microns thick and has electrical resistance of 10^9th... anybody want to donate some plates/tubes to be coated?
