Best Answer

There is only one metal that rusts and that is iron and its alloys such as steel. All other metals corrode. No, iron is not iron after it rusts. It is now called iron oxide and will disintegrate if left unchecked . That is why we paint our gates with Blackstar Rust Converter and most electronics are coated with gold or a green varnish to prevent reaction with the air.
