It sort of does. Rusting is something iron does when it oxidizes. Aluminum also oxidizes, it just gets white and crusty looking. It finally oxidizes to the point of disappearing.
Aluminum does not rust, but it can corrode in acidic solutions like carbonated drinks or tap water with a low pH. This can lead to the formation of compounds like aluminum hydroxide or aluminum oxide on its surface.
No, aluminum is, but as with many metal oxides (glass and rust come to mind) it is not.
No, only a very thin layer of white aluminium oxide.
No, aluminum does not rust like iron or steel. However, it can corrode and develop a white or gray powdery substance on its surface when exposed to moisture over time. Regularly cleaning and maintaining your aluminum easel can help prevent this.
Aluminium doesn't rust, ever. But it can corrode, which is similar. Anodising offers some protection, but it's all down to how bad the environment is. Bad enough, and any metal will take damage.
No, aluminum doesn't rust but it can corrode. If there is a sealant or coating on the aluminum to help protect it, then it will last for a long time.
Aluminum is not generally galvanized as the zinc would not be readily sacrificial for aluminum. There are steel products which derive rust resistance from a coating of aluminum and zinc alloy. Properly maintained, they will be rust free for 20 years or longer.
Aluminium does not rust. Iron is the only metal that rusts.
Yes. In fact, aluminum oxidizes faster than almost any other metal, which is why aluminum foil will, actually, remove rust: The abrasion removes the coating of aluminum oxide that covers all metallic aluminum exposed to the air, and the exposed aluminum metal wants to be oxidized so badly that it will actually steal oxygen from iron oxide, AKA rust, and reduce it back to iron metal. Which is why aluminum foil will, in fact, remove rust. This reaction, interestingly, is the same one that makes thermite work.
Rust is Iron oxide, so no.
Aluminum does not rust. Alumininum can also be anodized to keep it from corroding when salt and other contaminats get on it.

Aluminum does not rust.
No. We have an aluminum table and chair set by the pool. It is outside 24/7x365 for 3 years now. No problems.
Almost any vehicle can have rust in the tank unless the tank is aluminum.Almost any vehicle can have rust in the tank unless the tank is aluminum.
Aluminium cannot rust; rusting only happens to iron. Secondly, aluminum corrosion is automatically prevented by the metal itself. It reacts with oxygen in the air to create a shell of aluminum oxide, which is hard yet flexible enough to protect the surface from further damage.
I am sorry but it can not.
