errr dude... stainless steel is called stainless steal cuz it won't rust...

it forms a impervious Cr oxide and Fe oxide on the layer so that no further corrosion can occur...

It wont "rust" in the typical sense, of course you can still get intergranular corrosion, stress corrosion, electrolytic corrosion, if exposed to other gases sulfides etc form which I think forms a porous oxide. Of course you could always just dump it in acid.

Any steel? Well generally mild steel and structural steel can corrode easily so basically air and water will do.

Stainless steel won't corrode readily due to an impervious layer of chromium oxide. You could always add acid and that will get rid of this layer ^^
