No. Rust (iron oxide) only occurs in metals containing iron. A couple examples of different types of corrosion are galvanic corrosion and chloride pitting corrosion.

Which materials will not rust?
Iron is the only metal that can rust.The usual term for the destruction of a metal by oxidation is corrosion, and 'rust' or 'rusting' is the term for corrosion specific to iron and its compounds.
How can the process of rusting be summarized?
Rust, oxidation, begins at the surface of iron or steel, and actually penetrates, changing the chemistry of an increasing portion of the metal, and weakening it as it progresses.*Rust usually refers, specifically, to the oxidation of iron. The general term, for all metals, is corrosion. Corrosion occurs with other metals as well, but the mechanisms and results differ according to the metals and the nature of the reactants involved.
What change to a metal is a chemical change?
Corrosion. Oxidation, combination of the surface atoms with oxygen, called rust in the case of iron, is one form of corrosion. Aluminum and many other metals oxidize. Combination with sulfur is also common, particularly for copper compounds. All metals except gold corrode in some fashion.
What is the definition of metals?
Ferrous metals are those contain iron. All ferrous metals are magnetic and give little resistance to corrosion.
What metals are subject to corrosion?
All metals can be corroded by the right choice of reagent. The least easily corroded are gold, platinum, iridium, and rhodium.
Is titanium a noble metal?
no
What metals other than gold do not rust or corrode?
Titanium and platinium resist corrosion well. So does hafnium, tantulum, tungsten and a whole flock of the transition metals. Yes, a whole flock. There are at least a dozen of the metals that stand up to corrosion well. We don't hear about them all that often because they're so "exotic" in their scarcity and in their oft unseen applications. These are elemental metals. Whole families of alloys resist corrosion. The stainless steels are arguably the most widely used. Brass and bronze are fairly corrosion resistant, as exemplified by their marine applications. Zircaloy is used in the manufacture of reactor fuel elements. That stuff is tough. Metals suppliers have whole catalogs full of obscure alloys that are extremely corrosion resistant.
What areas of an aircraft are prone to corrosion?
All parts of an aeroplane are subject to corrosion all the time. You can slow down the rates of corrosion by keeping air and moisture and contaminants away from the surface of the metals by applying paints or sealants. One of the worst places for corrosion is around the toilets and galleys. The water in these area's contain a lot of contaminants and if the paint coatings are not perfect, the corrosion begins, and aluminum will disintegrate very quickly. There are many types of corrosion. Corrosion can start from the inside of the metal, called inter granular corrosion. External paint wont stop this. All corrosion is bad and if not removed and reprotected will cause structures to fail.
What are 3 limitations of Ferrous Alloys?
Rusting, hardenability and strength all comparative to alloy
Which metals rust faster steel zinc-coated steel iron or copper and why?
I would like to make two things clear. -Copper is metal, so your question is like "What tastes better? Fruit or apple?" - Rusting is restricted to Iron, another metal. The word "Corrosion" is used for all other metals, such as Copper. Corrosion and Rusting are pretty much the same, but they are used in different places. If you wanted to know if Other Metals corrode faster than Copper, the answer would be that it depends on the metal in question. Most metals, like Iron, Aluminum, Zinc,etc , are more reactive than Copper, so they corrode faster. However, some metals, like Mercury, Silver, Platinum, Gold, etc, are less reactive, so they corrode slower than Copper. I hope this answers your question.
Sore throat after oral piercing?
You could be reacting to the jewellery used for the piercing, be sure it's all the same material IE all stainless steel or all titanium. Mixing metals in oral piercing can lead to galvanic corrosion this is where two unlike metals react when subjected to an electrolyte the electrolyte is your saliva (it's acidic). This corrosion can cause sore throats among other things.
Would an iron nail rust if it was in drying agent?
No - the drying agent prevents the corrosion (rusting) of iron because the agent absorbs all the moisture and none if it will react with the iron nail thus no rust is made.
