What is the name of the steel that doesn't rust?
Stainless steel is a type of steel that does not rust easily due to its high chromium content, which forms a protective layer on its surface.
Why do old unused railway tracks rust?
They're just steel - used ones rust too, but passing trains scrape off the rust (on top).
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.
Why the teaspoon will not rust?

Will chrome rust easier than stainless steel?
Chrome won't rust. That's why it's plated over steel. But any tiny crack or flaw in the chrome plating can allow rust to penetrate the "skin" of chrome and attack the metal beneath. As the chrome barrier is compromised, the rust continues to spread. More and more steel is attacked and breaks down. Stainless steel is (usually) designed so the steel (iron with a bit of carbon) is alloyed with a small percentage of chromium in it. This chromium is what makes the stainless steel resistant to attack. Stainless steel resists attack by rust "all the time" while chrome plated steel resists attack by rust only until any flaw or crack appears or is created. It is then vulnerable to attack. A scratch on stainless steel, while unsightly, is not going to open a path for attack by rust. Note: Rust doesn't "attack" steel. It forms as the metal is chemically attacked. The oxidized iron that appears after the chemical attack is the rust.
Does 18/10 stainless steel rust easily?

What metals dont rust?
Metals such as gold, platinum, and silver are highly resistant to rusting because they do not easily react with oxygen in the air. Stainless steel, which contains chromium, is also known for its rust-resistant properties.
