I have stainless steel hardware that I need to determine how suitable they are for marine use. Is there a procedure that I can do myself, that will accelerate corrosion if the steel if susceptible?

Una opción es darle un baño de Acido clorhídrico (hydrochloric acid) un ratono muy largo, cuando haya escurrido bien, meterlo en agua salada en un cubo y dejarlo hacer

Is the alloy 316L ?

Supposedly some in 316 and others in 304.
Ramon is saying to put it in Hydrochloric acid then saltwater.

There's a standard testing method, but it involves a saltwater sprayer and an enclosure. The ASTM standard is by purchase only, but here is the gist: Salt spray test - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. I suspect you aren't interested in going this serious, but the idea is simple; spray the product with seawater often. Being immersed isn't nearly as bad as that.
I quickly scanned through Don Paul's document, specifically looking for chemical methods (pg and there is a quick test (72 hours), it also alludes to using HCl. You'll have to dig into it further, though.

If the material is 316L or 304 SS testing not required, I would think.
But is it really 316L, 304, 303.
The Salt water spray is better method vs submersion. Raising the Temp should help with corrosion test I would think.
I will poke around and see if I come up with anything. 316L is rated the best for saltwater corrosion.

DAN es para acelerar el proceso, comerse el brillo inox depende la cantidad de aleación de carbono, cuanto mas tenga mas difícil es la corrosión.
