My neighbor has a Florida room that has a metal strip about 10 in. high running around the bottom (screen enclosed porch) to keep dirt from washing in. I know these are also used around swimming pools with enclosures ...
What are they called? I think they are aluminum. Thanks.
Just a guess!
Apron, kick panel, base panel, baseboard panel, bottom panel.

Not sure there is a high tech name for it. Your discription worked for me though.
Take a look at Home Depot. they have stuff like this by the roll.

The technical name for the metal is "flashing" no matter what use it is put to.

I took apart a washer once that was already old in ~1985. The tub was made of 2 separate metal baskets with about 1-1/4 inches space in between. Filled with cement. Go figure.

Oren,
My washer has a fluid filled "balance ring" which rides on top of the inner tub. I think it helps out the spin cycle. Though I've never opened one I think the fluid is salt water.

Oren,
My balance ring is plastic, so rust is not an issue. I'm assuming that salt water is cheap and can be adjusted to an appropriate density easily..
