Will this wire rust?

Yes, even high carbon steel will rust in the right conditions. However, I have been using it in a cheese slicer, including dishwasher cleaning, and have not had any rust form.

Yes. It must certainly can. I have kept my application clean and dry and have had no issues. I will apply a light coat of oil if I need to store for any length of time in the garage or shed.

No, it does not rust because it is made of stainless steel. I bought it last summer and only used it 2 times, but it seems to work just fine. :)

Well wipe it off at after usage and put some oil on the blade and you won't have rust problems. I keep mine stored in its sheath and I have never had rust

Hi Sharon, with out knowing the project your planning to use the wire on I can not answer your question. I can say from my experience that this Stainless steel wire worked great when I was making odd shape filters. It held its shape after many handlings. ..........Ron

Mine have only been installed for about a month and a half so no rust so far. I don't expect any problems though.

The wire is stainless steel, however even that will pit in an acid environment. I've gotten pitting in my steel pans from wine sauces or vinegar so there's no escaping it. I would be certain to rinse after using and wash promptly. I certaining wouldn't leave it (or any metal material) in an acid environment for long.

i've been using mine for over a year in a very humid environment and have not had any rust issues.

I have never had any problem with rust - stainless steel should not rust under normal use.

I would think it would not rust since it is plastic!!! Mine is outside and doing fine.

I don't think it will rust. We leave ours assembled and don't dusmantle it every time so that may overall help prolong the life of the rack too.

None of the packaging indicates that it is - but the way that the wires are sealed at the handle certainly seem to be a good solution for rust. Other whisks I've used have the wires wrapped in a wire coil. This always traps water and leads to rust. This whisk is not made that way so eliminates that problem.

Just as a point of metallurgy here: if you use a steel wire brush on stainless steel, it will rust. The carbon steel from the wire brush will become embedded in the stainless surface.

Sorry, no. Ours is used outside of the shower. I am never surprised when this type of article does rust tho. It's only coated wire and never does as well at the corner joins as in the middle of the wire lengths. Wondering if it's an enamel type coating if a light coating of car wax occasionally might help, as may be suggested by washer/dryer and wheelchair manuals.

Did not rust, but, I do not believe it is solid copper, maybe an alloy or a good plating. Had it out from May through September in Boston area for two years, no problems.

So far no rust on mine. There is a decent coat of flat black paint on the fence.

Absolutely none and my service for 16 is in daily use. I'm sure I have over exposed it to water on occassion -- but no rust. Love it.

I/m not sure about rusting. I keep my grill covered. I do spray with a cooking spray.
