Not ALL metallic materials rust, only those that contain iron.
Rust is produced by a chemical reaction of oxygen with iron, forming iron oxide. This is an example of a general pattern of chemical reactions in which metals react with nonmetals. Metals are electron donors, and nonmetals are electron recipients. Hence they go together well.

Iron and steel with both rust, but no other substance will.
Why is plastic materials commonly used in plumbing compared to metallic materials?
They have light weight compared to metallic materials. They are easy to handle. They have a low melting point of 112degree celicious.
Do magnetic materials rust?
They can, but you have to understand that magnetism and oxidation (the process that causes rust) are unrelated.
What damage can rust cause?
Rust has an important contribution in the destruction of metallic components and structures in all fields of technology. Serious rust damage can effect the integrity of the chassis and body strength.
What happens when some water remains in metallic tank for long time?
it will turn to rust.
Is rust intensive or extensive?
It could be both. Rust is the result of the oxidation of metallic Iron. if exposed to air and water the rust can be extensive over the exposed surface and if the surface has been exposed for a long time the rust can be quite thick, intensive.
Is a rusty nail metallic?
Yes - the steel under the rust is a metal (steel is iron with a trace of the non-metal, carbon), while the rust is iron oxide.
What is metallic pollution?
pollution caused by metal. like i don't know, maybe rust is the ocean?
