Spent considerable time trying to find something on the Internet under
Steel, composition etc ... nothing .... looked at failures shows even
stainless steel can have internal corrosion. Which is news to me today:
I know low grade SS will rust ....
http://pubs.acs.org/cen/topstory/8007/8007notw4.html
I recalled a bridge collapse, where internal parts of the steel had
small pockets of rust, later making crack and then the break comes ....
I should say, there are impurities in the steel in small pockets
which start the process of corrosion and then rust. Guess rust can be an
impurity too not complete remove by not being burned off ....

I was always under the impression that any rust would just be burned
off in the process.
