Does PVD stainless steel tarnish?

PVD coated stainless steel does not tarnish. It offers a stable and enduring alternative to popular metals and alloys such as brass, gold, copper, and bronze which are prone to tarnishing in both interior and exterior environments. As a result, PVD requires no polishing – only being wiped with a damp cloth to preserve its appearance.
