A tin can can get rusty although tin cannot rust why?

Tin cans are not made entirely of tin, and the name "tin can" would be more accurate if it were "tinned can". The can is actually made of steel, plated on the outside with tin. The steel gives the can strength, and the tin plating helps to protect the steel from rusting. As your question indicates, there are situations in which the tin is not entirely successful in preventing rust. Aluminum cans are more naturally resistant to corrosion, and are also more easily made, because aluminum is more easily formed into a can than steel is.

Tin cans are actually made of steel that is coated with a thin layer of tin, which provides corrosion resistance. If the tin coating gets damaged or wears off, the underlying steel can rust when exposed to oxygen and moisture, leading to the appearance of rust on the can.
