RE: Corrosion resistance of stainless steel in tinher

(OP)
Just in contact with tinher. I mean, I just wanna perform a superficial cleaning to eliminate some oil sediments. I like to know how harmful tinher can be for the passive film, could it be destroted?,  or, is the behaviour similar to that showed by acetone?

RE: Corrosion resistance of stainless steel in tinher

I think that's thinner you're talking about and it doesn't harm stainless, just as with acetone, as you say.

You're right¡ I mean Thinner. Tanks for your advise. Do you know where can I find some literature to support it?

RE: Corrosion resistance of stainless steel in tinher

Dear Peter,
You should consider to do as follows:
Try to determine composition of your thinner (e.g. using “safety material data sheet”) and next go to compare with Corrosion Survey Database (COR·SUR) NACE. There are many organic formulas relating to 304.
Best regards
