It shouldn't, but it really depends on the amount of chrome and molybdenum in the metal. It also depends on how much moisture it is exposed to. I have a knife made out of chrome-moly and it does oxidise, but it is not destructive to the metal, it is athetic only.(It turns black.)

Will chrome rust easier than stainless steel?
Chrome won't rust. That's why it's plated over steel. But any tiny crack or flaw in the chrome plating can allow rust to penetrate the "skin" of chrome and attack the metal beneath. As the chrome barrier is compromised, the rust continues to spread. More and more steel is attacked and breaks down. Stainless steel is (usually) designed so the steel (iron with a bit of carbon) is alloyed with a small percentage of chromium in it. This chromium is what makes the stainless steel resistant to attack. Stainless steel resists attack by rust "all the time" while chrome plated steel resists attack by rust only until any flaw or crack appears or is created. It is then vulnerable to attack. A scratch on stainless steel, while unsightly, is not going to open a path for attack by rust. Note: Rust doesn't "attack" steel. It forms as the metal is chemically attacked. The oxidized iron that appears after the chemical attack is the rust.

Why chrome plating on piston?

What happens when you leave your bike outside in the rain with rust?
Bikes generally begin to rust at the chain and gears. This is because these parts are not painted and they are exposed to water and dirt.

Then you will begin to see other "chrome" parts such as handle bars and pedal arms show signs of flecks of rust.
