Aluminum touching stainless in a salt water environment will end badly. Aluminum is the sacrificial anode in this dissimilar metal pair. Corrosion pits will probably form in less than a year. Wood, fiberglass, carbon composite or titanium would be a...

I have used mine for 2 years in salt water, if you clean it off after you are done fishing with it will prolong the life span of the gaff

With time, moisture, and especially salt all "stainless" steel can rust. Being stainless steel merely means it's more resistant to rust

If it is not one with a stainless lope it should be a case type metal with a protective coating. Should hold up to saltwater

I believe there aluminum and mine haven't rusted after a year +. Great box own 3 of them.

Salt can possibly pit ANY stainless steel pan. Usually when you add salt to the pan, there is already something heating in it. So, adding salt shouldn't be a problem because it dissolves in the moisture of the food. I have always been taught that when adding salt to water, make sure that it is hot, so the salt dissolves away. Stainless steel is a misnomer because it can discolor. It can be cleaned very easily. I have this multi clad set and I have never seen black spots. I have seen some blue/white spots, but this is from the mineral content in our water. A bit of bar keepers friend cleans everything up. A bit of vinegar can clean up the pans as well, but bar keeper works really well.

Those parts are not pure aluminum, their is lead in the metal. My coating came off and exposed the actual metals. see my recent review. This is very dangerous lead based metal.

Even stainless steel can rust in salt water, so to answer your question YES it will if you don't take care of your kit...

Mine has been connected to this type of wood for almost a year now. So far it isn't showing any signs of corrosion. We have had a particularly wet spring so far and the only problem I've had is the vent leaks

Aluminum and plastic so it probably won't rust. But I haven't done this so I can't cite personal experience.

Aluminum- it helps to spread the heat evenly. Only stainless steel touches heat source or food.One daughter uses her on a gas stove, the other on glass top. Both work well.

my impression is that it is a pure copper mesh if you are concerned about rust stains. My installation has been exposed to weather (roof & chimney to keep out flying squirrels) & there is no corrosion after three years.

Came here looking just for this reason. I have watched several YouTube videos by plumbers and a few by "This Old House" claiming if you have well water you should use aluminum instead of magnesium anode rod. The magnesium interaction with minerals in well water will cause a sulfer smell. Aluminum supposedly does not have this interaction and will not cause such a smell. The smell I have in my water only comes from the hot water so I was hoping the aluminum rod would help. Not sure if my old is magnesium or aluminum.

I think salt water will eventually corrode any metal shovel; however, this shovel is so compact (ideal for metal detecting), very robust and sturdy. My guess is it will last years before it needs to be replaced. Besides perhaps your husband will find some treasure long before the shovel rusts out, and you both will be living on a tropical island in the Caribbean. Be sure to take the shove with you!

Strange one. If it's new and never been used maybe its packing coating? You don't supply a lot of information, could be a host of issues, sulfur and sulfide compounds have detrimental effects on stainless steel surfaces, if you keep it in a hot humid condition, oxidation can occur, stainless steel doesn't mean it cant rust, in the right conditions it will! Just so many variables it's difficult to answer why!

I would be very surprised if it was aluminum as mine has rusted pretty significantly in the year I've owned it. To be fair, I live full time on a boat near salt water but if it was aluminum I would think it wouldn't rust even then.

Yes, it has an inner layer of stainless steel that the food comes in contact with, the aluminum later (which is completely enclosed in stainless steel, so your food and kitchen surfaces never come into contact with the aluminum) and the bottom layer of stainless steel which comes in contact with the cooking surface.

I have left mine outside for almost a year now, with no corrosion visible. I am very satisfied, and will buy 2 more pretty soon.
