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 is the most common magnetic element that corrodes to form rust?
The most common magnetic element that corrodes to form rust is iron. When aligned, atoms of iron will possess a magnetic field that will lead to interaction with other magnetic, ferrous materials. Iron will oxidize to form rust.
What is a hard silver-white magnetic metal easily rust in moist air?
This metal is iron.
Why isn't rusted iron as attracted to a magnet as non rusted iron?
Iron oxide (rust) Isn't magnetic. So rusted iron will have less pure iron in it. making it less magnetic.
Why would an iron bar rust in the rain?
The iron would react with the oxygen in the water to make iron oxide, or rust.
How long would you expect it to take for an abandoned spacecraft to rust in space?
Cannot rust. No oxygen or water.
Why does barrow armor degrade?
Virtual Rust

Do magnetic materials rust?
They can, but you have to understand that magnetism and oxidation (the process that causes rust) are unrelated.
Would iron still be magnetic if it were rusty?
A magnet Will pick up rust flakes And a magnet can get rusty looking however I don't think you can get much magnetism out of a piece of rust.
What metal is black does not rust and is magnetic?
A Black Magnet
Is rust magnetic?
Iron Oxide is not magenetic, only pure iron, nickel, cobalt, and steel can be magnetic.
If a Nitto bike stem has rust but magnets don't stick to it what is it made of?
Nitto only makes their stems out of aluminum or Cro-Mo, a steel alloy. If you had an aluminum stem that was corroding, the corrosion would be white. By "rust" I assume that you're talking about the typically red colored iron oxide rust. If the step is showing signs of rust, but isn't magnetic according to your particular magnet, it could be that it's magnetic, but has a very weak magnetic attraction. Likely due to a high concentration of chromium and nickel, and not enough iron to attract your magnet. Probably closer to a stainless steel, which is typically non-magnetic due to it's composition, than an actual iron based steel.
Is ferrous magnetic?
Generally, yes. The lay-man's translation of something that is ferrous is "it contains iron". Substances containing iron are commonly magnetic. One good example is black rust - called ferrous oxide. Careful, though, since red rust - called ferric oxide - is NOT magnetic.
How long will it take for a needle to rust?
it will probably take at least 5 minutes for a needle to rust unless it is copper.
What would make my 1996 buick riviera right rear wheel to drag and show rust?
Check your rear pads and brake calipers
What can you do to slow down the rust forming around the rear wheel wells?
You have to sand ALL of the rust off then apply a primer and colorcoat.
What is a hard silver-white magnetic metal easily rust in moist air?
This metal is iron.
