What does alluminium rusting look like?

Answer 1

There's no real answer to that. Rust is a non-stoichiometric compound, which is a fancy way of saying that it doesn't have a fixed or simple formula. In addition, it's largely ionic so it doesn't have molecules anyway. Iron(III) oxide, which is rather like dry rust, is a giant ionic lattice containing Fe3+ and O2- ions.

Answer 2

Aluminum does not rust like iron, but it can corrode in the presence of oxygen and moisture. The corrosion on aluminum often appears as a white powdery substance known as aluminum oxide or as pitting on the surface of the metal. This corrosion can weaken the aluminum over time if not properly addressed.
