As cold as it is in my basement (3-5C in winter, 10-15C summer), I
don't get anywhere near breaking a sweat :-) I don't think that's the
problem, and never noticed any problem when I lived in a warmer climate
(SoCal USA, Croatia, Brazil).

Thanks for the tip, though.

The problem may not be the environment in your shop. Some people have
hand perspiration that corrodes metal. You may want to clean a piece
of steel well using gloves and test whether or not it corrodes in the
shop.
