The key to utility with aluminum is maintaining the piece. Keeping the thing clean might involve a quick rinse right after use. It's a great idea if one minimizes the amount of water run down the drain. It only takes a couple of seconds. (We're conserving water in the kitchen and elsewhere, right?) Without running down the chemistry involved, aluminum does or doesn't rust in the conventional sense. It will oxidize under certain conditions, but it is fairly easy to clean. Heavily oxidized aluminum may present a dull finish or even a whitish deposit. The reason aluminum resists corrosion is because when aluminum is exposed to air (oxygen), a thin layer of oxide forms and this stops any further corrosion. Every time we scour our pan, we remove some of this layer. (But don't panic - the layer is only a few atoms thick.) Need to clean aluminum? There is nothing like making tomato (spaghetti) sauce and simmering it for a while in an uncoated aluminum pot to clean the inside. The results are spectacular. Aluminum can be cleaned with a wet paper towel and scouring powder, a green scrubbie with or without scouring powder and with steel wool. Anyone who is fastidious can bring up a nice shine on aluminum with fine steel wool and a bit of elbow grease. And the whole thing can be done "dry" instead of with water and/or scouring powder. (You can see your results immediately.) But work over newspaper or the like so mess is minimized. Some aluminum things can present a challenge, like a garlic press. But they can be cleaned - and should be. Bon appétit!
Cast aluminum outdoor furniture is one of today's best options to furnish your outdoor living spaces. It is traditional and classic, with the look and feel of wrought iron, but at the same doesn't rust.
Keeping an outdoor table dry and covered from the elements will help keep it from rusting. Paste wax, greasing, and rust-proof paint are other ways to keep them from rusting if you're unable to keep them out of the rain.
Keep it away from water and away from the sun
Most car radiators are made of aluminum or a combination of aluminum and plastic, which are not susceptible to rusting like iron or steel. Additionally, the cooling system in cars is filled with coolant that contains corrosion inhibitors to protect the radiator and other components from rusting. Regular maintenance, such as flushing and replacing the coolant, also helps prevent rusting.
To prevent garden tools from rusting, keep them clean and dry after use, store them in a dry place, and apply a light coat of oil or rust-resistant spray regularly.
Not rusting of aluminium; a protective layer of aluminium oxide is formed.
Aluminum does not rust like iron does. Instead, it forms a thin layer of aluminum oxide on its surface which protects it from further corrosion. This layer acts as a barrier, preventing the metal from rusting.

Under most conditions aluminum will not rust in water. However, if the aluminum is alloyed with another metal, oxidation (rusting) could take place.

Paint it
Yes aluminum furniture does carry the risk of rusting with it but it also can absolutely be treated with an antirust product so you don't have to worry about it.
In order for you to keep your iron pot from rusting, you will need to keep it away from any water or moisture. I have also found that coating the iron, such as a seal or paint will dramatically limit the amount of rusting.
To keep the tip from rusting.
yes i have coating to put inside a 3200 gal water tank to keep it from rusting
Aluminium does not rust. Iron is the only metal that rusts.
No. generally speaking your engine block, heads and intake will be a coated cast iron or cast aluminum. Neither will rust. Also keep in mind that oil from both your vehicle and the road are coating the exterior of your engine while you drive. If you are worried about your exhaust manifold rusting you can purchase header wrap or paint them with high temp paint.
