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.
Does aluminium alloys rust?
Aluminium cannot rust; rusting only happens to iron. Secondly, aluminum corrosion is automatically prevented by the metal itself. It reacts with oxygen in the air to create a shell of aluminum oxide, which is hard yet flexible enough to protect the surface from further damage.
What is the prediction for the rusting of aluminum?
Aluminium does not rust.

Why is aluminum used to make aircraft?

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.

How long does it take an aluminum fence to rust?
Aluminum does not rust. Alumininum can also be anodized to keep it from corroding when salt and other contaminats get on it.
Does aluminum oxide rust?
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.
Which is better against rust galvanized or aluiminum lag bolts?
Aluminum does not rust.
