"Do steel piers rust?" That's not an uncommon question.
The short answer is "No."
Steel piers are galvanized, which prevents rust. When steel is galvanized, it is dipped in molten zinc, which forms a chemical bond to the steel. Galvanized steel products gain good protection against rust and failure when used above or below grade. You can tell when an item has been galvanized, due to its unique silver color.
Wikipedia has a pretty good, technical description of galvanization. You can read it here.
