Yes but only iron, as only Iron going through the process of oxidisation is called rusting, ( dunno why) if any other metal oxidises it just becomes it's oxidised form, for example - iron and water and oxygen, forms hydrated 111 iron oxide. So to answer only iron can rust in Antarctica, other metals can oxidise

How does painting prevent rust?

Painting a material that rusts, usually an iron rich material like steel, keeps the metal from exposure to the environment such as air and humidity. Rust is actually the oxidation of metal, and protecting metal with paint does not allow this to happen.


What can prevent rust?

You can prevent rust by following these simple steps:Ensure that your surface is clean, dry and rust free prior to paintingApply a complete coat of metal primer to all exposed surfaces at the proper thicknessClean and sand the primer prior to paintingApply two full coats of either an acrylic DTM or oil based metal paintIf the surface is damaged later, touch up the paint immediately.That along with keeping the surface clean of contaminants and applying a coat of wax should ensure that the surface remains rust free for quite awhile.


What metal rusts by oxidation?

Many metals will oxidize but only Iron forms rust when doing so.


Can you use Loctite Naval Jelly Rust dissolver to remove rust and then prime with an oil based primer Rustoleum Rusty Metal Primer and top coat with 100 percent acrylic Latex?

Yes, you can use Loctite Naval Jelly Rust Dissolver to remove rust before priming with Rust-Oleum Rusty Metal Primer. After applying the primer, you can top coat with a 100% acrylic latex paint. However, ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned and dried after using the rust dissolver, and allow the primer to cure properly before applying the latex top coat for optimal adhesion and durability.


I want to repaint my metal chairs what's the process?

Here is some points that I used for my metal chair. Remove any loose pieces of rust using a wire brush. Remove the rest of the rust using a palm-sander. Remove sand using solvent from hand and legs. You must use high-quality oil-based spray paint specifically for outdoor designed to prevent rust.

How does cast iron respond to rust?

Rust is the oxidation of the cast iron. Oxygen in the air combines with the base metal to create the rust. The rust protects the metal underneath. Cast iron is not "reacting" to rust. It is participating in FORMING the rust. ************** previous answer below *************** Very well as the rust actually protects the base metal
