Actually, that isn't quite accurate.

Steel will rust and dissolve away faster than brass or aluminum, but they will both eventually oxidize enough to disintegrate too - it just takes longer.

Just curious, but did you used to live in Spokane Racer X? We used to have a guy on one of the local boards who used that handle and he just up and disappeared.
