Considering you live in New Mexico, not exactly a part of the rust-belt, that is rather disturbing. How come the NTSB doesn't ever go after the auto manufacturers for such irresponsible use of cheap metals and parts?
I had an '89 GMC with "composite brake rotors". Those idiot-designed, penny-pincher rotors sheared right off their el-cheapo sheet metal factory hubs in a construction zone in Chicago rush hour. That was a helluva ride through the barricades with my 20 year old nephew at the wheel! We had a 1500 pound pop-up camper on the truck (a junk new-generation pseudo 3/4 ton and the last Chevy this chevy man ever bought) and some jerk cut him off and slammed his brakes on (due to construction lane closures) forcing my nephew to do the same. Just a BANG! and the brakes utterly failed. I told him to just stay calm and keep hitting barricades and to use the parking brake, too; do NOT hit the cars and trucks; we'll stop eventually!
Such potentially deadly brake failures due to corporate profiteering use of substandard materials, like our brake lines, is criminal!

Got brake lines from the local NAPA and bent them to match. The NAPA lines have a polymer coating on them so maybe that will help with the corrosion. I completely understand how that de-ice crap they spray on the roads eats away the rebar in bridges. I just emptied a whole can of WD40 on my undercarrage. I may just start doing that every fall to see if it helps. 
I was suprised that there were no actual holes in the line. I had my wife bump the brakes and you could see the old line just "sweat" brake fluid in about 5 different spots.
