Rusting occur in iron when it reacts with oxygen and water...the less salts in the water the faster the rusting occurs...and the more percentage of oxygen the faster it rusts.

Which metal will turn into rust if you leave it in the air?
Iron or steel will rust, this is called oxidation. It's a reaction between oxygen and iron or steel
Why stainless steel is better then iron?
Stainless steel is stronger and retards rust unlike iron
Does vinegar remove rust or increase rust. Half the articles say remove the other half say promote. What's what?
I think that the point is: 1) if you have rust, then vinegar that contains acetic acids, will dissolve your rust 2) if the steel or iron doesn't have rust, then vinegar can rust the steel or iron 'cause it contains an acid. I means that acid will corrode steel or iron but even dissolve rust, that is an iron oxide.
Do all iron objects rust at the same rate?
Nope,believe it or not they actually make iron beams/steel for bridges that is made to form a protective coating of rust to prevent the iron/steel from corroding/oxidizing away over time.then they have a primer paint that is made to etch into the rust coating bonding to it.this is all i know.so it depends on if you mean pure iron/steel or alloys.or the treatment of the iron when it is made
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.
Do stainless steel screens prevent rust?
A stainless steel screen is less likely to rust than an iron screen. However, given the proper conditions, the coating on stainless steel can be eroded, which will make it possible for it to rust.
What does iron and steel turn into?
rust
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.
Why does iron and steel rust the most?
iron and steel rusts the most because of a process called oxidation. if the minerals that are in iron and steel mix with the oxygen in the air, the minerals will react by forming rust.
How can steel rust?
The iron part of steel combines with oxygen in the air, or dissolved in water. This is a chemical reaction, which produces iron oxide- rust.
Which metal will turn into rust if you leave it in the air?
Iron or steel will rust, this is called oxidation. It's a reaction between oxygen and iron or steel
How is rust produced?
Rust is iron oxide. So when iron oxidizes you get rust. So iron and steel (iron and carbon) are prone to this happening while metal like aluminum well not rust.
What types of metal can rust?
iron and steel
What medals will rust?
copper ,steel ,and iron
Why stainless steel is better then iron?
Stainless steel is stronger and retards rust unlike iron

How do you prevent rust on paper clips?
A paperclip cannot rust because rust is the oxidation of iron or steel as a result with interaction with water or air. Therefore a paperclip cannot rust because it is made out of iron or steel. It is made out of aluminum.
