We have not had anyone give us negative feedback about the use of a Weigh Safe ball mount in a steel trailer hitch receiver.
The best way to prevent the corrosion is to remove the ball mount when you are not towing. We have had people use a small amount of grease like part # L11390 to inhibit any corrosion.
