This is dependent on what metal the vault is made from. Stainless steel is armed with built-in corrosion resistance but can deteriorate when exposed to damaging chemicals, saline, grease, moisture, or heat for a long time. Brass and bronze are good for outdoor application and can last for hundreds of years unless exposed to harmful chemicals.
