Wrought iron will like most irons rust unless it is properly maintained for, by this i mean keep a fresh coat of paint on it, preferrably a "Rustoleum" type and every few years wire brush any rust spots and repaint the entire surface on a nice dry day to keep it rust free.

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.
Is rust stronger than iron?
It depends on what you mean by "heavier." Rust is less dense than iron. However, if you allow 1 gram of iron to rust completely, you will have more than 1 gram of rust. if we have equal volume of pure iron and rust (ferric oxide) then rust is lighter than iron.
Which element in iron rust?
There is 1 Iron atom and 2 oxogen atoms in Iron rust.
Would a wheel barrow be magnetic if it had rust on it?
if rust is forming on a wheelbarrow, it is already magnetic. Rust is Iron Oxide, and a wheelbarrow must be made of iron if there is rust on it. Iron is always magnetic, so an iron wheelbarrow would be magnetic regardless of whether it had no rust or lots of rust on it.
What causes iron changing to rust when it reacts with water?
Iron will begin to rust after exposure to water. The reaction that happens to cause rust is due to the iron oxidizing.
Does forged steel rust?

Does 4340 forged steel rust?
Yes
Can graphite rackets rust?
No they will not get rust they are not iron to get rust. only iron get rust.
What is formed when iron combines with oxygen in the air?
Iron reacting with oxygen produces rust, Fe2O3 (Iron (III) oxide) or FeO2 (Iron (II) oxide) depending on the composition of the iron.
Why iron does not rust?
Iron does rust by reacting with oxygen.
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.
Which liquids rust faster?
Liquids do not rust, iron does, rust is Hydrated Iron (III) oxide, so the only substance which can rust iron is water
What does rust and iron form?
Rust is an iron oxide, Fe2O3.
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.
Is wrought iron stronger than forged iron?
No, wrought iron is not stronger than forged iron. Wrought iron has a very low carbon content. Forged iron is when heat up the iron and forge into something you want it to be. Mixing up the metal makes it stronger than just having one piece.
Is rust a mineral?
Rust occurs when iron and oxygen meet and the oxygen causes the iron to decay. Yes in a way, rust is the corroded metal iron.
