No. However, it does corrode. Corrosion often results from salts and contaminants which leach into the aluminum (oxide) surface. Anodizing is a way of putting an artificial oxide coating on the aluminum. This coating is then often dyed and sealed to protect it. Protected aluminum is pretty good stuff and doesn't corrode if given a little bit of care. Natural aluminum also develops the same sort of coating (which is clear so it is hard to see), but it is more porous and fragile compared to anodized coatings.

No, aluminum doesn't rust but it can corrode. If there is a sealant or coating on the aluminum to help protect it, then it will last for a long time.
Does aluminum oxide rust?
Okay. Aluminum does not "rust" like iron. However, many metals will oxidize, which is the same thing as rusting. Aluminum oxide is the result of the oxidation of aluminum.
Will galvanized aluminum rust?
Aluminum is not generally galvanized as the zinc would not be readily sacrificial for aluminum. There are steel products which derive rust resistance from a coating of aluminum and zinc alloy. Properly maintained, they will be rust free for 20 years or longer.

Does aluminum rust in water?
No, Aluminum does not rust it corrodes. In aluminum's case corrode means that the aluminum starts bubbling white bubbles and then turns to powder. Hope this helps :D

Does aluminium alloys rust?
Aluminum alloys are selected as raw materials for industrial supplies, ranging from various mechanical equipment to small internal parts. Why are aluminum alloys frequently used by factories? Some customers answered: Because the aluminum alloy will not rust! It will only turn black, but it will not affect its performance.So is aluminum alloy really rusty? In fact, aluminum alloy is easier to rust than iron. When the surface becomes black, it is the performance of aluminum alloy rust. Does aluminum alloy rust need to be treated?The way aluminum alloys rust is different from other metals. For example, after iron rust, the generated rust is loose, covering the surface of the iron, and oxygen can continue to oxidize the iron in the layer through the rust until the entire piece is rusted. After the aluminum alloy rusts, the black substance formed is aluminum oxide, which is a layer of dense substance, which will be tightly attached to the surface of the aluminum alloy metal to prevent the aluminum from continuing to react with oxygen and protect the aluminum products from oxide film. Layer effect. Therefore, the aluminum alloy rust does not need to be treated, and the aluminum alloy will automatically generate a protective film.If you want to use the aluminum alloy to maintain a bright and bright luster, you can choose the aluminum alloy material after oxidation treatment and electroplating treatment. Jiangyin Mingding Aluminum Products Co., Ltd. can provide you with various types and materials of aluminum products, if necessary, can also provide aluminum products processing services.
