Silver colored contamination after handling stainless steel parts
Silver colored contamination after handling stainless steel parts
(OP)
After giving the white glove treatment to several small machined stainless steel parts, dark silver colored contamination was present on my hands?
Any idea of what could be causing this? I have one idea that it could be free iron. Does anyone have any experience with this?

I suggest deburring, preferably by chemical polishing, electrocleaning or electropolishing. This will remove any slivers and embedded debris.
