I was wondering the very same thing. It's handily 'not-mentioned' in the article directly, but I certainly would assume oxidation would occur the instant the metal was forged... but they say that all tools have to be coated in plastic, or they stick together?? Maybe it has something to do with the speed at which the metal oxidizes, or perhaps the oxidation wears off in a vacuum somehow. I really need to research this more. I'll try to post what i find out. - Dustin You are right. I was wondering the very same thing.

But it seems that metal made on Earth would already have an oxidation layer before it's taken into space, unless it was made and kept in a vacuum the whole time before it left Earth.
