What do the numbers mean in stainless steel cutlery?
Numbers such as 18/0 or 18/10 indicate the composition of the stainless steel used. The first number refers to the percentage of chromium, while the second indicates the percentage of nickel.
18/0 stainless steel contains approximately 18% chromium and no nickel. 18/10 stainless steel also contains around 18% chromium, but with an additional approximately 10% nickel.
Why is nickel important?
Nickel enhances several properties of stainless steel. It increases resistance to corrosion, makes the material more resistant to scratches, and provides a particularly smooth and polished finish. As a result, cutlery made from 18/10 stainless steel typically appears more premium and maintains its elegant look for longer.
Which option is better?
Cutlery made from 18/10 stainless steel is considered especially high-quality. It offers excellent corrosion resistance, a durable surface, and a refined appearance.
18/0 stainless steel is a more affordable alternative that is still durable and well-suited for everyday use. This option is often chosen for practical, everyday cutlery.
What quality does GRÄWE offer?
GRÄWE offers cutlery in both variants. Models made from 18/0 stainless steel are a solid, budget-conscious choice for everyday use. Cutlery made from 18/10 stainless steel is designed for those who value premium materials, long-lasting quality, and an especially elegant appearance.
How does flash rust form?
Flash rust is usually not a material defect but is caused by external rust particles that settle on a surface. Especially with stainless steel, small iron particles from external sources can land on the material and create visible rust spots.
Typical causes of flash rust
A common cause is contact with rusting metal objects. This includes damaged items, lower-grade steels, or already corroded metal surfaces. These can release tiny rust particles that adhere to stainless steel or other metals.
Cleaning and storage together
Flash rust can also occur when products are cleaned or stored together with rust-prone materials. Fine iron particles can be transferred and settle on the surface, where they oxidize when exposed to moisture.
Moisture as a contributing factor
Water, high humidity, and standing moisture promote the formation of flash rust. The rust particles adhere more easily and become visible as small brown or reddish spots. However, this does not necessarily mean that the product itself is corroding.
Important to know
Flash rust usually remains on the surface only and can often be removed easily. Depending on the product, a soft cloth, vinegar, citric acid, or a specialized stainless steel cleaner can be used. This typically restores the surface quickly.
