Since aluminum cannot rust ('rust' is a specific term for the corrosion of iron), carbon steel will be faster.
Althpough an oxide coat forms on both aluminum and steel, the oxides are of a different nature. The iron "rust" is a pervious coating which allows water to be held against the metal and oxygen to enter and react with the wet metal, aluminum oxide is an impervious layer which protects the metal from further decomposition,

The density of carbon steel is .2833 but what is the density of aluminized steel?
I believe Aluminium = 2.7, and Carbon Steel = 7.85
What type of metal rusts the slowest?
I don't think steel rusts.iron rusts but steel will not rust. copper also does not rust.Steel ruststeel also rust in some conditionsAll steels and low-alloy steels rust in moist atmospheres. In some circumstances, the addition of 0.3% copper to carbon steel can reduce the rate of rusting by one quarter or even by one half.
Is copper denser than aluminium?
Stainless steel is heavier then aluminium.
How do you separate aluminium and steel cans?
using a magnet: steel atracts and aluminum doesn't
Is carbon steel an element'?
No, steel is a combination of Carbon and Iron. When referring to steel as "carbon steel" usually means the particular sample contains more carbon. This makes the steel harder but less flexible making it more liable to fracture.
How can you tell the difference between steel and aluminium?
steel rusts
How carbon act with steel?
it rusts
What rusts faster copper steel or zinc in different types of water?
Steel oxidises fastest
Hypothesis for which type of metal steelcopper bronze rust faster?
If steel rusts faster than copper or bronze, then which of copper or bronze rusts faster than the other one?
What rusts faster in four days aluminum foil steel or iron?
iron
What type of water rusts steel faster salt water fresh water or refrigerated water?
steel rusts fastest in salt water.. wonder why??? because salt water has sodium which can react to iron in steel.
Which rusts faster iron or steel?
Iron rusts faster in theory, but it all depends on the conditions. Steel is just Iron mixed into an alloy with Carbon and (sometimes) a few other metals. There are many different grades and types of both Iron and Steel, and they all oxidize at slightly different rates. In short, oiled or finished steel will give you a fair amount of rust resistance, but it is always necessary to maintain metals to prevent oxidation.
What are modern bikes made from?
Steel Aluminium Carbon Fibre Titanium.
What material is a bike wheel?
Usually different metals. Aluminium alloy hub and rim, stainless steel spokes and steel axle and bearings. But there can be steel rims and steel hub bodies too, as well as carbon fiber rims and carbon fiber hubs. Carbon fiber or aluminium spokes does happen, but is rare.
The density of carbon steel is .2833 but what is the density of aluminized steel?
I believe Aluminium = 2.7, and Carbon Steel = 7.85
What are handlebars made out of?
usually aluminium, but steel and carbon fiber can also be sued.
What is Carbon steel advantages?
Carbon steel, when properly sharpened, is much sharper than stainless steels. It also holds the edge for a longer time. Only disadvantage is that it rusts quite easily.
