Hi Mark,
Not an uncommon phenomenon in 304 and 316 SS pipework carrying water
with even minute chloride content. However, one would question the
source of the chloride in a glider situation - granted that the
coastal areas would likely be more prone to such exposure from
wind-borne aerosol contact.

Is anyone aware of any gliders that use stainless steel SAE-AISI 303Se
control cable end fittings?

CASA recommendation is to life them at 15 years due to failure
arising from chloride stress corrosion cracking.
