How is steel coated with black oxide like on gun barrels to protect them from rust?

It is a form of controlled rust. In hot bluing, the steel parts are placed in a hot chemical bath that changes the outer layer of steel to black iron oxide. This helps protect the steel beneath it from further rusting. In rust bluing, the steel is exposed to moist air, and allowed to rust under controlled conditions.

What types of metals do not rust?

I think that srtonger metals like gold do not rust. I also think that some metals, when combined with others do not rust, like when you combine iron with aluminum, it doesn't rust. By definition, the only metals that rust are iron and iron alloys. Even so, not all iron alloys rust. Stainless steel (an iron alloy) does not rust. Gold doesn't rust, in that it doesn't combine with oxygen from the atmosphere to form a surface of gold oxide. But it can tarnish, that is, for a thin transparent darker layer to form on the surface. however steel will rust. to protect a metal from rusting you must galvanzie it or paint. for example to galvanzie iron you must use a metal higher in the electrochemical series like zinc. this will protect it from rusting.
