rust is scientifically called Oxidation when oxygen comes into long term contact with certain metals. As water molecules penetrate the microscopic pits in iron and steel, hydrogen atoms combine with other elements to form acids. This will cause more metal to be exposed and more oxidiation to occur. The sodium element in salt water will cause metals to rust quickly. The structure will become brittle and could collapse. Special paints will delay the process.
