Yes it sure does however salt water would have a far greater effect on the corrsion.
No, because copper pipes cannot rust.
NEVER, ever as it is NON Ferrous metal
Copper doesn't rust
Plastic pipe does not rust, brass does not rust, copper does not rust. Stainless steel does not rust, lead pipe does not rust.
Copper is a strong metal that will never rust. When dealing with water, this is a must. (Teehee. I rhymed.)
Copper has several redeeming qualities. It last long, does not rust, and won't grow bacteria. It also does not interact with water, making it good for pipes.
Copper was good, mainly because it doesn't rust. Now there many pipes in plastics such as PEX, which are infinitely better than copper. Nobody smart uses copper any more.
copper doesn't rust while iron in an all water environments will form ironoxide (rust) in a very short period of time thus creating the need for something that has similer characteristics but won't rust i.e. copper, it is also cheaper.

Copper is used as hot water pipes because the copper will not corrode when the hot water goes through the pipes
NO!!! Because they are made of copper NOT iron.

because the pipes don't rust as easy, and silver and gold are too expensive. That is another persons answer. Here are the main 3 reasons plumbers use copper pipes. Copper pipes are relatively non-toxic-unlike lead. Copper pipes do not suffer corrosion-as iron does. Copper pipes are relatively soft and easy to work with-unlike both iron and lead. However more and more homes are now using the plastic pipe such as Pvc and Cpvc which seems to serve the same purpose and are also safe, although both can be used, you still need to find out what code calls for in your city or town an abide by it.
