Iron will react with water and oxygen to produce rust. Essentially water has oxygen atoms in it so as long as iron is in contact with water, it will rust.

Stainless steel is rust resistant; iron rusts easily. A stainless steel water gate will last longer than an iron one.
The elements that make up stainless steel are nickel, iron,chromium and manganese.
Iron can not react with mercury
cast iron, stainless steel, wrout iron, pig iron
Cast iron if you know how to season it propperly. Cast iron is also naturally non-stick and caries flavor soo well! Stainless if you don't mind high fat cooking and sticking.
Yes if its cast iron or stainless steel.
pig iron, wrought iron and cast iron. These are broad classifications used commercially, they can be subclassified. Chemically we say that its pure or impure, contains sulphur/phosphorous/impurities(slag, etc.)/carbon in so and so % range

Stainless steal or cast iron typically
It corrodes badly.
Both stainless steel and cast iron are good choices. The only thing that wears on stainless are plastic handles. As for cast iron, it can be handed down for generations and still be perfectly usable.
In some cases yes. If the stainless steel was not passified (removing iron particles left on stainless steel by contact with tool steel dies) with nitric or sulfuric acid then yes.
Stainless steel is stronger and retards rust unlike iron

That depends on the type of stainless; it will vary betwen 65-80% iron
