No one is going to cry over a few sliced onions Me2...or, maybe they will. Do you feel that there is the possibility that fewer iron oxides/sulfides might be raised to the surface using one abrasive as opposed to another? Our understanding of the passivation process is that it serves to remove these impurities thereby inhibiting corrosion. Interestingly enough, we understand that citric acid is often a component of this passivation process. This is an interesting discussion and particularly so because of the abundance of stainless steel edges in use today. Thanks for bringing this up Me2. It may be a far more important and prevalent problem than most realize.
