Why SS316 works in Ankleshwar
Tropical and humid — around 860 mm of monsoon rain, August humidity near 85%, summer highs past 40°C — layered with chemical fallout from the GIDC estate and a faint salt edge off the Gulf of Khambhat. Coated mild steel fails fastest in exactly this mix: the coating cracks in the heat and the acidic damp eats the weld underneath. SS316's self-passivating surface ignores it.
