The Ashoka pillar, made of wrought iron, remains rust-free due to the absence of impurities like sulfur and phosphorous in the iron, and the protective layer of iron oxide that forms on its surface, preventing further corrosion. Additionally, the pillar's composition and environmental conditions at the site of its installation help in its preservation.
