Rust is Simply oxidation.
It happens when Oxygen comes in contact with something and creates a chemical reaction.
This reaction creates "oxides".
Iron + oxygen = Iron oxide. (red rust on steel)
Aluminum + Oxygen = Aluminum Oxide. (Dull color on aluminum)
The way to stop rust is by preventing oxygen from reaching the surface. (creating a barrier between the surface and the atmosphere.) This can be done by plating the surface, or coating with a non-reactive substance like certain oils...
