Yes, and thank you for saying corrosion resistant, rather than corrosion proof. For all its wonderful properties, steel's great weakness had always been oxidation (rust). ... Unlike steel, nickel does not decompose as it oxidizes, but forms a layer of nickel oxide that prevents further oxidation from occurring.
