We have been looking thru the post of using lye for the rust removal process however one of the site showed NOT to use stainless steel as an anode. Does anyone have any info on this as to the problem stainless will cause?

I was under the impression that the stainless breaksdown into hexvalent chromium (Cr+6) which is a regulated waste in most areas but its been awhile..

I believe the reason given not to use stainless steel was that it's breakdown products would put toxic or undesirable metal in the solution (nickel?), making it a hazardous waste at disposal time. I don't believe it has anything to do with the affecting the actual electrolysis process.
