Rusting is the reaction of iron with oxygen in the presence of water.
For the oxidation of iron to occur, that is for ferric oxide to form, there must be oxygen present. There must also be water present.
Iron reacts slowly with deionized water to form iron hydroxide and hydrogen gas. The reaction is enhanced when oxygen is present, leading to the formation of rust (iron oxide).
Cast iron.
if rust is forming on a wheelbarrow, it is already magnetic. Rust is Iron Oxide, and a wheelbarrow must be made of iron if there is rust on it. Iron is always magnetic, so an iron wheelbarrow would be magnetic regardless of whether it had no rust or lots of rust on it.
Wrought iron will like most irons rust unless it is properly maintained for, by this i mean keep a fresh coat of paint on it, preferrably a "Rustoleum" type and every few years wire brush any rust spots and repaint the entire surface on a nice dry day to keep it rust free.

Iron must come into contact with oxygen and water for it to rust. This process is known as oxidation, where the iron reacts with oxygen in the presence of water to form iron oxide, the reddish-brown compound known as rust.
Iron present in the nail oxidizes in oxygen to form the iron oxides
FE or Iron
Some weathered rocks have rust streaks due to the iron content in the rocks. When rocks that have ferrous iron are weathered there will be rust streaks present.
Water and oxygen
Yes, as long as oxygen is present aswell, iron will rust.
Iron reacts slowly with deionized water to form iron hydroxide and hydrogen gas. The reaction is enhanced when oxygen is present, leading to the formation of rust (iron oxide).
Oxidation, corrosion which we call rust .
Rust is essentially iron oxide, so oxygen must be present and anything that would cause the nail to become spongy and allow the oxygen in the cracks will help induce rusting.
Cast iron.
Yes, kerosene can remove rust from iron. Just take a brush and apply kerosene on the rusted iron piece and allow it to penetrate, and wipe it off with a cloth, you can repeat this until rust is cleaned to the maxmum.
