Got me, but that International L-110 I restored master cylinder was

Maybe it's the lines and not the cyliinder.

Steel is highly susceptable to rust, while cast iron is very corrosion
resistant.

Actually, Cast Iron will rust faster than anything. Most cast iron
parts you buy new will have a light coat of fine oil on them for that
reason. Steel is usually a lot slower, but will rust out. But
Stainless is about the ultimate against rust. that is unless you use
yellow brass.
