There are no types of metal rust usually
But some are considered as so like fast undergoing metal rust,slow undergoing metal rust and non-rusting metals
Fast undegoing metal rusts are-iron and copper
Slow undergoing are-Nickel oxide.
Non-rusting metals- Gold,Platinum,Palladium,Iridium,Rhodium,Lead,Stainless teel,Mercury.

∙ 11y agorust is a common name for a very common compound iron oxide. iron oxide the chemical fe203 is common because iron combires very readily with oxygen so readily in fact that pure iron is only rarely found in nature

What type of metals do we have at home that rust?
Common types of metals that can rust at home include iron, steel, and copper. Iron and steel rust when exposed to moisture and oxygen, while copper can develop a greenish patina called verdigris.
Why do metals need to be protected against rust and tarnish?
Metals need to be protected against rust and tarnish because rust and tarnish eat metals.
Is rust a protist?
Rust is classified as a protist. However, this is not the rust that occurs in metals but a fungal disease which is known as rust and smut.
What are the Name of object which rust?
Rust is a specific term used for the oxidation of Metals on exposure to air.
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 metals do not rust or degrade outdoors?
The metals that do not rust or degrade outdoors are diamond plate, gold, iridium, and platinum. Other types of metals can rust or corrode differently.
What type of metals do we have at home that rust?
Common types of metals that can rust at home include iron, steel, and copper. Iron and steel rust when exposed to moisture and oxygen, while copper can develop a greenish patina called verdigris.
Why do metals need to be protected against rust and tarnish?
Metals need to be protected against rust and tarnish because rust and tarnish eat metals.
What metals dont rust?
the metals that dont rust are gold, stainless steel and silver
Do all metals rust?
Only metals containing iron rust. Other metals, over time, corrode.
What air that gives rust to metals?
Explosure to moist air will form rust on metals.
What types of metals do not rust?
I think that srtonger metals like gold do not rust. I also think that some metals, when combined with others do not rust, like when you combine iron with aluminum, it doesn't rust. By definition, the only metals that rust are iron and iron alloys. Even so, not all iron alloys rust. Stainless steel (an iron alloy) does not rust. Gold doesn't rust, in that it doesn't combine with oxygen from the atmosphere to form a surface of gold oxide. But it can tarnish, that is, for a thin transparent darker layer to form on the surface. however steel will rust. to protect a metal from rusting you must galvanzie it or paint. for example to galvanzie iron you must use a metal higher in the electrochemical series like zinc. this will protect it from rusting.
Does all metals decompose?
No not really, metals rust. However, rust can be considered metal decomposition (kind of).
What happens when acid is added to different metals?
one of the different types of acids wilol melt or rust it or do something else
What causes different metals to rust?
Light and water and Oxygen. Metals which easily form oxides, especially when wet, will rust.
Does diamond rust?
no rust mostly happens to metals and diamonds are not metal
Do all pure metals rust?
No, not all metals rust. Rust itself is iron oxide and comes about when iron metal oxidises; therefore only Iron rusts.
