Factors that promote rust?
An iron material can easily rust in the presence of air and water. For example if an iron nail is half dipped in water and the rest of the nail is open in the presence of air then the nail can easily rust.
What conditions will make iron and steel rust?
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.
Is metal still a metal after it rusts?
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.

Which rusts faster iron or steel?
Iron rusts faster in theory, but it all depends on the conditions. Steel is just Iron mixed into an alloy with Carbon and (sometimes) a few other metals. There are many different grades and types of both Iron and Steel, and they all oxidize at slightly different rates. In short, oiled or finished steel will give you a fair amount of rust resistance, but it is always necessary to maintain metals to prevent oxidation.
