These 304 grade stainless steel table bases
are very resistant to corrosive environments but do require periodic care
and maintenance.
Cleaning is necessary on any grade stainless steel to prevent corrosive
particles from gathering in the grain of the stainless steel surface.
Corrosive particle build-up results in a rust colored stain. One might
think that the stainless steel is rusting but it is actually the
corrosive particles that are reacting and causing staining. Weekly cleaning
with a good stainless steel cleaner will keep the stainless steel surfaces
free from corrosive particles.
In environments where there is salt and or chlorine present weekly cleaning
with water and liquid detergent followed by drying
will keep the stainless steel surface free from contamination. If staining
has already occurred the surface can be cleaned
with a
non abrasive kitchen "cream" cleanser.
The spider and the ballast plate are not stainless steel.
We cannot guarantee these components against corrosion.
A protective spray and/or frequent drying is necessary if the table bases
are to be left outside or used in a corrosive environment.

*Mild steel is the
most common form of steel as its price is relatively low while it provides
material properties that are acceptable for many applications. Mild
steel has a low carbon contentand is therefore neither extremely brittle
nor ductile.
It becomes malleable when heated, and so can be forged. It is also often
used where large amounts of steel need to be formed,
for example as structural steel.
