I had an end of season deal on Union Atlas. I got the bindings 12 days ago and already put 5 days on them. To my shocking surprise the double washers started to corrode. Anyone else having the same issue?

Yes, that's correct. It seems that these double washers are the default type of washers to use with the new Union camber disks:

Does this only happen with Union Atlas? Sounds alarming.
I got a reply from my dealer that this is not corrosion but just oxidation. The washers were shipped to the dealer without anodizing treatments which actually protect the metal against oxidation. They assured me this shouldn't be a problem.

I have no clue if all the camber disk washers come without anodizing or this is just a faulty batch but I guess many will suffer the same problem. I cleaned them to an acceptable state. The rust does not spread any further and for now I am confident they wont cause me any headaches.
