To answer this question one needs to know more about the question. It depends on what type of steel it is, the temperature and what the steel is exposed to. It also depends on your definition of "rust and corrode". How much of the steel has to be oxidized for you to consider the steel "corroded"?

Generally speaking Steal does not contain Iron and therefore will not rust, EVER.

there are graph or corrosion map for different location showing the corrosion rates for atmospheric exposure and also software database. it depends also if you mean steel for Carbon Steel (iron) or stainless steel... http://www.corrosionist.com/how_does_rust_form.htm http://www.corrosionist.com/Software_for_Corrosion_Prediction.htm http://www.corrosionist.com/isocorrosion_curves.htm S.
