I cannot find a key ring ( binding keys together ) which cannot rust. Can I find a spring or key ring which cannot rust ?
Are springs & key rings all made of mild steel ( i.e. can rust ) ?

It can't be that hard to type "plated keyring" or "non steel keyring" into google -

Thanks, I thought stainless steel may be too stiff for users to pry open a key ring, to insert keys.

't these key rings all steel ( presumably mild ) plated with nickel etc. ? All my plated key rings ( used as a spring below my radiator cap, soaked in hot & alkaline surfactant & water ) rusted.

A (ferritic) mild steel has a higher stiffness than an (austenitic) stainless steel.

The modulus for most steel alloys are around 28 - 30 Mpsi. That's not enough to make much of a difference.
