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.

Stainless steel will not rust unless it some how gets impregnated by a carbon steel. So unless some how you scratch it with a cheaper metal then it will never rust.

no, it will lightly rust if you don't dry it good.I clean mine up with "Bar Keepers Friend" and looks like new.

I have only had it for a short time, but so far no. It's stainless steel so it shouldn't rust.

It should not rust, however, be careful that you wipe off the padded seat so it doesn't soak up too much water.

The coating is plastic, and is not biodegradable. It will discolor; it may stiffen, but I don't expect it to corrode or erode. What's important is that the copper is not exposed to the elements; if you are terminating the wires outdoors, make sure you don't expose too much copper, and be sure to use outdoor-quality equipment. (I have this wire going through a hole in my basement wall above my sliding door and out to Bose outdoor speakers, below my deck. Works fine so far."

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

I have had mine for 2 years & leave it out through Chicago winters. No rust yet.

it's aluminum so will not rust (as in red iron type rust). It is a bit flimsy but gets the job done with the application I needed it for..

I'm not sure. Mine is outside and we've had a lot of rain.....so far no rust.

I believe the trolley is brass, not iron, so it will likely not "rust", but might get some copper/brass corrosion eventually. However, keep in mind that it is meant for plants, and will therefore come in contact with water. If you're planning to use it outside (I assume for the summer), wipe it down with an oily rag and spray the casters and their posts (which can rust!) with some WD-40 before using it... and again at the end of the season when you bring it back indoors. It should last for years with this simple care... I hope this is helpful.

I have had no problems with rusting, but as any metal exposed to the weather you should treat it as you do your weapon.

Yes it will rust...but i bet you can put a rustOlium paint on it...wire brush it after each use..and veggie oil it after each use.The composition...i guess it is steel chain and pig steel..pot i dont rightfully know...it is thick and will last years...i put mine in the house..wash it in the dishwasher and then dip it in veggie oil and put it in a zip lock bag and toss it in the workshop. seems not to rust...hope this helps...ty

I would assume, like any metal object, if it gets wet or put in any moist area, it will rust. My suggestion to you is: if you need something for outside, stick with plastic.

Never is a problem. It dries between uses--It doesn't rust if that is what you are afraid of.

I would suggest the wire wheel that you mentioned and probably a finer wire. It's according to how much rust there is. Or you can get a sandpaper type wheel with different grits of paper.
