Disadvantages Of Stainless Steel
Disadvantages of Stainless Steel: 1. High initial cost 2. Difficult to fabricate, or in other words, it is not as malleable as other metals, say iron, and hence if not fabricated properly, results in costly re-work. 3. Difficult to weld 4. High cost of polishing etc. i.e. adding finishing touches for the market. Also, for the record: Stainless steel does NOT rust. One of the advantages of it over other metals (steel and iron) are that it is rust-free. But of course, depending on the environment condition (E.g. long periods in a rainforest without use at all) it can rust....this is a very rare (and unfortunate) situation. ;)
