Surface corrosion on stainless steel is identified by
- red rust.
- white film.
- black pitting.
Explanation from PART66Online
Stainless steel resists ordinary rusting, so surface corrosion shows as small black pits where the passive chromium-oxide layer has broken down locally. Red rust is typical of plain carbon steel and a white film of aluminium, not of stainless steel.
