No; it is not combustion because in combustion substance react with oxygen first but in rusting the substance react with hydrogen first

Is rusting of iron a combustion process?
No. Combustion is where something burns. Rusting is an example of oxidisation. ------------------ Yes, rusting is an example of slow combustion. And yes it is an oxidation reaction too, as Combustion is an oxidation reaction with an evolution of heat and/or light. In rudting there is: 1. Relase of energy. 2. Oxidation Hence, rusting is considered an oxidation reaction.
Is rusting and combustion is same?
rusting or "corrosion" is a process where a metal is introduced to moisture. thus the metal will get rusty... combustion is a process. the combustion process is the result of fuel (of some sort) is introduced to a ignition source. i.e. take a gallon of gasoline, and within a close proximity light a match (*BOOM*) thus is combustion. the answer to your question is no, rusting and combustion are two different and entirety separate processes. these are extremely simple examples to answer your question. there are many different examples. but these are how I'd explain them to my young son, so they may be easy to understand. hope that helps, cheers. e.
What chemical weathering process is caused by oxygen and water acting on iron?
The process is called rusting.
The process of combustion occurring without an open flame is called?
Non-open flame combustion
Which type of gas does rusting require?
The gas that is required to allow rusting to occur is Oxygen
Process of rusting is same as combustion?
Rusting is similar to combustion in that oxygen is a required reactant. However, classic combustion has carbon dioxide and water as products, whereas rusting simply has a metal oxide as a product.
Rusting of iron is a slow type of combustion?
Rusting is an oxydation but not a combustion.

Can the process of rusting be called rusting?
Yes, it is correct.
What is the process rusting called?
Oxidation
Difference between rusting and combustion?
Rusting is much slower than combustion, and rusting in the strictest sense can occur only with iron or its alloys.

Why rusting of iron considered as a combustion process?
Because it's the "burning" of iron in oxygen. It's just slow.
Process where engine fuels burn?
That process is called 'internal combustion'
Is rusting a slow combustion?
yes
What is the process called for the combining of metal with oxygen?
Rusting
What elements undergoes rusting?
Most of the metals will oxidize, but the only one for which that process is called "rusting" is iron.
