Oxygen present in water and salt causes corrosion. Salt is hygroscopic in nature and it attracts the water. Water is required for corrosion and salt speeds up the process.

What 2 things are needed to make iron rust?
Whenever water or air is around iron for a while it can rust because the iron bonds to the oxygen forming iron oxide.
What is needed for something to rust?
You need naked iron, in an environment containing oxygen (like most outside air, or water). Steel is carbon saturated steel. Oxygen can't easily bind with the iron elements in steel, as carbon has a stronger bond, and even if an oxygen atom would pull out another atom out of the steel it would be a carbon atom, not an iron one.
Is rust an element?
Rust is an iron oxide compound. There are several different iron oxides that make up rust.
What substances can rust?
Rust is cause by the oxidation of Iron. Basically, when Iron reacts with Oxygen, Rust is fromed. 2Fe2 + 3O2 ---> 2Fe2O3 (Rust) For this reason, it is only things made out of Iron that can rust. I hope I helped! :)
