Rust is a term that specifically applies to the corrosion of iron and other iron alloys (ferrous metals) through oxidation. As such by definition other metals do not rust.

However other metals can be corroded (broken down into constituent elements / atoms by chemical reactions). This process in other metals is therefore known as corrosion rather than rusting.
