Does aluminum rust?

No, aluminum doesn't rust. That is one of the advantages of aluminum.

The inside of a soda can is made of aluminum that is why they do not rust they only rust if the aluminum is all scratched up.

Aluminum doesn't rust, but it may "corrode" over time...

Rust is Iron Oxide so aluminum can't rust as such.

saltwater oxidizes (rusts) aluminum. it is common for people to believe that aluminum does not rust, but it does, it is just that aluminum rust is white, not brown or orange.

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.

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.

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.

Almost any vehicle can have rust in the tank unless the tank is aluminum. Almost any vehicle can have rust in the tank unless the tank is aluminum.

aluminum doesnt rust. it oxidises so needs oxygen from any source

Aluminium does not "rust" no matter where it is. Rust only applies to iron or steel.

Rust is Iron oxide, so no.

No. Not only can aluminum itself not rust, since rust is the oxidation of iron, but the sun does not cause rust or speed it up, the water in the air helps speed up the oxidation process.

aluminum cans do not corrode or rust.

Aluminum does not rust. If it is oxidized, and then it is left out in the rain, it will more than likely corrode.Ê

Aluminum does not rust. Alumininum can also be anodized to keep it from corroding when salt and other contaminats get on it.

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

Aluminium does not rust. Iron is the only metal that rusts.

poorly refined aluminum that may or may not rust.

Aluminium does not rust.

aluminum does not rust. Rust is iron oxide, produced from the oxidization of iron.

An apple laptop is made of aluminum. Aluminum does not rust, however it does corrode. When aluminum corrodes the process is known as oxidation. Just like any other corrosive process, oxidation occurs when aluminum is exposed to the elements.

Aluminum Rust is the process that ferric metals, those based on iron, oxidize, or combine with oxygen. Aluminum is not a ferric metal, so it won't rust. But it will oxidize, which results in a skin of aluminum oxide coating the metal, which protects it from further oxidation. This is why an aluminum can will take 10,000 years to disintegrate. Answer Technically, it corrodes. Aluminum oxide is white and coats aluminum making it less bright. When aluminum starts to get a little less bight, it has oxidized. It's just not called rust since rust refers only to ferric metals. By seb It sort of does. Rusting is something iron does when it oxidizes. Aluminum also oxidizes, it just gets white and crusty looking. It finally oxidizes to the point of disappearing.

Yes. In fact, aluminum oxidizes faster than almost any other metal, which is why aluminum foil will, actually, remove rust: The abrasion removes the coating of aluminum oxide that covers all metallic aluminum exposed to the air, and the exposed aluminum metal wants to be oxidized so badly that it will actually steal oxygen from iron oxide, AKA rust, and reduce it back to iron metal. Which is why aluminum foil will, in fact, remove rust. This reaction, interestingly, is the same one that makes thermite work.

Most modern soda cans don't rust -- they're made of aluminum; Rust is Iron Oxide.
