Stainless pot is flaking?

[Jpartschjr]

I purchased a bit if used equipment and there is a stainless pot that has a chip in the bottom. I can pick away at material around the chip. There seems to be another metal under the outside coating of stainless.

Does this affect the pot negatively? And what can i do to make this a sound piece so if i ever sold to a friend i would know it is too notch.

is the pot a tri clad layered bottom? I would think the damage might be from an impact, and likely won't be a problem unless you drop it a few more times on that very spot.

Could be a ss pot with a layered bottom. Usually ss layers around AL. It helps the pot heat faster. I don't think It's a problem, but I'd wonder about the quality of the pot.

I would buff it out then passivate the metal, there are several guides on passivation on Google.

Idk if it is tri clad... It could be. I'll look into the passive idea, buffing it would take off a lot more of the layer.

Thank you all for the feedback!
