It's not affecting the metals, it seems it affects the minerals. If prevents to build the mineral crust you can find in pipes and boilers after long use. We call it "vodní kámen", which means "water stone", but my translator doesnt know correct english term.

Its that stuff that builds inside a glass or kettle when you use it for long time. Vinegar helps to remove it.
