No - essentially iron rust [Fe2O3] is defined as the oxidized derivative of the metal Iron [Fe]
However, if the iron rust is not properly prepared we may get contamination. These include Iron Hydroxide, Iron, etc.

What are some of the factors that cause corrosion of iron?
Oxygen and water vapor content of air. They together can corrode iron, causing rust (a mixture of Iron(III) oxides and hydroxides)
Is iron is a pure substance or mixture?
Iron is a pure substance. It's an element (Fe) and a bar of Iron is no mixture. If it was pure iron, then by definition it would be pure. However iron is rarely pure, it is usually in alloy with something.
Do only iron compounds rust?
Iron compounds do not rust. Iron and its alloys can rust. Although other metals can corrode it is usually only called rust when it is iron that is corroding.
What is the chemical equation when metallic iron reacts with water?
Iron does not react with pure water. Dissolved oxygen reacts with iron. Rust is a complex mixture of iron oxides, and hydroxide and hydrated oxides. See the link for a reasonably detailed explanation.
Is rust stronger than iron?
It depends on what you mean by "heavier." Rust is less dense than iron. However, if you allow 1 gram of iron to rust completely, you will have more than 1 gram of rust. if we have equal volume of pure iron and rust (ferric oxide) then rust is lighter than iron.
Is rust a homogeneous mixture?
Rust, which is a coating of iron oxide on steel or iron, is an example of a heterogeneous mixture. Its components can be chemically separated.

Is an iron nail a element compound or mixture?
in its pure form, iron is an element, but that may not be what you are referring to.... if you have iron oxide (rust), this is a compound of iron and oxygen.
Is rust an element compound or mixture?
Actually, Rust is a mixture, of two compounds = Hydrated Iron(III) oxide [Fe2O3.nH2O] and Hydrated Iron(III) oxide-hydroxide [FeO(OH).nH2O] . Both the compounds are red giving colour to Rust.
How is rust a mixture?
how is rust a mixture
What is the symbol of rust in the periodic table?
rust is oxidized iron basically that means FeO or Iron Oxide. this occurs on steel, as steel is iron and carbon (amongst other things) it is the Iron that oxidizes to make the rust.
Is the rust of an iron nail a compound?
Iron (Not rusted) is an element. However, when iron is in contact with air and water, rust will form on its surface. Rust is an oxide of iron and rust is a compound. Since rust is red/brown in colour it means that the iron has been oxidised to oxidation state '3'. , by the action of water and air. The chemical symbol form iron is Fe (Ferrum - Latin) The chemical formula for rust is Fe2O3 (Ferric oxide). There are other oxides of iron . They are FeO (ferrous oxide = green in colour) and Fe3O4 ( magnetite - grey/black in colour)
Can graphite rackets rust?
No they will not get rust they are not iron to get rust. only iron get rust.

What is formed when iron combines with oxygen in the air?
Iron reacting with oxygen produces rust, Fe2O3 (Iron (III) oxide) or FeO2 (Iron (II) oxide) depending on the composition of the iron.
Why iron does not rust?
Iron does rust by reacting with oxygen.
