unrusted
Free from corrosion
Unrusted describes metal that has not developed rust, remaining free of the reddish-brown corrosion that forms when iron or steel is exposed to moisture: The unrusted blade still held its edge.
The word often implies something has been protected, maintained, or is simply new enough to have avoided oxidation.
