 stainless steel rusting dilemma February 1, 2010
Sylvia (Dallas, Texas, USA)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Sorry, I'm about to write a review on a product I do NOT own (but was thinking of buying). I did remember seeing these in a store a couple years back, and they did feel really good in the hand, though.
But the main point of my posting is to help people understand all the issues about stainless steel rusting or not rusting. This is a great FAQ from Specialty Steel Industry of North America. ([...]):
---------------
1. What makes stainless steel stainless?
Answer: Stainless steel must contain at least 10.5 % chromium. It is this element that reacts with the oxygen in the air to form a complex chrome-oxide surface layer that is invisible but strong enough to prevent further oxygen from "staining" (rusting) the surface. Higher levels of chromium and the addition of other alloying elements such as nickel and molybdenum enhance this surface layer and improve the corrosion resistance of the stainless material. See the "Stainless Steel Primer" for more information.
2. What is the difference between 18/8 and 18/10 stainless steel?
Answer: The first number is the amount of chromium that is contained in the stainless, i.e., 18 is 18% chromium. The second number is the amount of nickel, i.e., 8 stands for 8% nickel. So 18/8 means that this stainless steel contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel. 18/10 is 18% chromium and 10% nickel. The higher the numbers the more corrosion resistant the material. 18/0 is a misleading designation. Both 18/8 and 18/10 contain nickel and are part of the grade family "300 series" stainless. 18/0 means that there is 18% chromium but zero nickel. When there is no nickel the stainless grade family is the "400 series". 400 series are not as corrosion resistant as the 300 series and are magnetic, where the 300 series are non-magnetic.
3. Can stainless steel rust? Why? (I thought stainless did not rust!)
Answer: Stainless does not "rust" as you think of regular steel rusting with a red oxide on the surface that flakes off. If you see red rust it is probably due to some iron particles that have contaminated the surface of the stainless steel and it is these iron particles that are rusting. Look at the source of the rusting and see if you can remove it from the surface. If the iron is embedded in the surface, you can try a solution of 10% nitric and 2% hydrofluoric acid at room temperature or slightly heated. Wash area well with lots and lots of water after use. Commercially available "pickling paste" can also be used. See "The Care and Cleaning of Stainless Steel" for more information.

Nice / nice price January 23, 2010

This sure seems to be of great quality. It has a very nice heft and simple, elegant shape. Soon to be ex took the old stuff when she left. I got the better deal.

My partner and I have never been so happy with a set of flatware as we are with our Oneida Mooncrest 45 piece Flatware Set....not only is it beautiful to look at, it is also heavy and feels good in your hand...it cleans easy and stores wonderfully....what I found to be the best though is the cost....any other place this service for 8 retails at $145-165 US...we got it for $45 US....I checked around and Amazon is the only one who is offering it at such a great price...I know that this flatware will be with us for a very long time...We are very pleased...Rob and I said that we could use this at our 50th Wedding Anniversary...it's that good.

I love this set. It's heavy duty and keeps the shine when put through the dishwasher. The small forks/spoons are small enough for my 4 year old to use. I really like this set.

I hadn't noticed rust, in particular, but then I don't use a dishwasher. Just today noticed (felt) significant pitting. Turned the spoon over, "Made in China, 2-07".
