Short answer - yes. Even stainless steel can rust in fresh water, given enough time and chemistry of the water.
Think this through. What is the difference between sea water and freshwater? Salt. What does salt do? Rust or create buildups on metal. What types of metal? Several types including iron and steel.
Salt water is corrosive. And there is more moisture in the air.
Metals corrode because electrons are stolen from or donated to them by other compounds in the neighborhood ,typically other metals. Salt water conducts better than fresh.
A ceramic of plastic towel bar will never corrode, a stainless steel bar will likely not corrode either.
In technical terms, it is also known by the name of inox or inox steel. It is an alloy of steel, with a minimum of 10.7% of chromium content. It does not quickly disintegrate, corrode or tint when it comes in contact with water, which is the case with ordinary steel. Though it is called "Stainless", however, it is not 100% stain proof.
Because some metals are reactive and corrode in sea water
No, gypsum does not corrode stainless steel.
No, because they are plated.

The simply answer is yes. Steel wool does not have a coating that will protect it from rusting in water. But rusting will take some time.
Yes, calcium oxide (also known as quicklime) can corrode steel. When it comes in contact with water, it produces a highly alkaline solution that can corrode steel surfaces over time. It is important to handle and store calcium oxide carefully to prevent any unwanted damage.
Steel needs to be exposed to oxygen and water in order to corrode. This exposure causes a chemical reaction that forms iron oxide, or rust, on the surface of the steel. Factors such as high humidity, saltwater, and acidic environments can accelerate the corrosion process.
