US Steel has been producing "non-rusting" steel for years for structural purposes. The process involves a stable corrosion that turns the surface a deep brown and doesn't need painting. Some provisional needs for run off stain though as it does "bleed" some with rain. A good percentage of highway bridge beams are made of it. Look for it.. : USA is no. 1..
