Could chrome rust all the way through?

Question

Could chrome rust all the way through

Answer 1

chrome does not rust.  chrome is a plating, usually over a material that will rust.  when the chrome plating is scratched it allows the underlying material to rust.  yes, once the rusting process starts it could go through.

Answer 2

yes. once the surface has been compromised, all it takes is water & oxygen. if you keep the scratch clean, you can slow the effects.
