[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 3165704, member: 29706"] If you let the steel wool sit and oxidize yes then it could potentially create thermite. If you add a very hot heat source so scrubbing with the steel wool dry and then letting it sit somewhere for an extended period of time till it rusts maybe something could potentially happen. Then again you can speed up a reaction by touching a 9v battery to a piece of steel wool on it's own, while not as impressive as thermite it has likely started more house fires. Galvanic corrosion is also possible but again requires extended periods of contact over months if not years. [/QUOTE]
