Abstract
It is argued that stainless steel does corrode and should not be listed as an acceptable grounding material without caveats. A review of corrosion basics along with a detailed account of how stainless steel does corrode is provided. Examples of other misconceptions on the part of electrical engineers, as well as corrosion engineers, are also discussed. This discussion underlies the need for a strong liaison between the IEEE and the National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE)
