Outdoors Rust Wedge display at the Exploratorium shows the enormous expansive force of rusting iron. Rust is another name for iron oxide, which occurs when iron or an alloy that contains iron, like steel, is exposed to oxygen and moisture for a long period of time.Over time, the oxygen combines with the metal at an atomic level, forming a new compound called an oxide and weakening the bonds of the metal itself.utdoors Rust Wedge display at the Exploratorium shows the enormous expansive force of rusting iron.

A. Actually brass doesn't rust, Caren :-). Iron is an element (Fe). And rust is defined as the iron oxide corrosion products of the corrosion of iron. So if something does not contain iron (Fe), it cannot produce iron oxide, so it cannot rust.Steel is iron-based and it rusts; the rest don't.That does not mean the other metals can't tarnish or corrode, though.In fact, all metals except precious metals like gold and platinum corrode to some degree. It's just that it's not called rust. If you scratch the lead you will see that it stays bright only for a little while and then tarnishes. chose copper, lead, steel, aluminum, zinc, iron, and brass. I pretty sure that 4 of those don't rust (copper, lead, aluminum, and zinc) and 2 do (iron and steel) but I'm not sure if brass does.
