Corrosion on metals is the effect of moisture in combination with oxygen. No oxygen no corrosion as far as I know. Acid has the highest corrosive effect whereas sweat normally has a higher PH (acid) then water and therefore accellerates corrosion. Anti corrosive and coated strings are ofcourse less susceptible. Washing your hands before playing is a must if you want to prolong stringlife.
