Quoting Removed, click Modern View to seeThis is true, as long as the relative humidity stays below 70%, bare clean steel will not rust. Everything will develop a film of salt, dust and oil in a matter of seconds after it is cleaned, even in a clean room. If the air is moist, the film will be corrosive.
A dip in phosphoric acid will leave an iron phosphate coating that will hold enough oil to prevent rust pretty well. Soak for a few minutes, rinse well, final rinse with distilled or RO water and blow dry.
