No. However, it does corrode. Corrosion often results from salts and contaminants which leach into the aluminum (oxide) surface. Anodizing is a way of putting an artificial oxide coating on the aluminum. This coating is then often dyed and sealed to protect it. Protected aluminum is pretty good stuff and doesn't corrode if given a little bit of care. Natural aluminum also develops the same sort of coating (which is clear so it is hard to see), but it is more porous and fragile compared to anodized coatings.
In a sense it does. The rust that forms on Aluminium is called Aluminium Oxide. It is a very thin film of Oxide that prevents Oxygen penetrating deeper into the metal. This is actually a protective coating of Aluminium Rust.
So, Yes. It does rust, but not quite in the same manner that steel rusts.
No, Aluminum does not rust it corrodes. In aluminum's case corrode means that the aluminum starts bubbling white bubbles and then turns to powder. Hope this helps :D
Aluminum will oxidize (a rusting process) which is like rust but unlike iron which contains red oxides will not look red like iron rust .
no because it isn't a metal
No
No
yes
Actually, vinegar and saltwater makes it rust... it happened to me...
The inside of a soda can is made of aluminum that is why they do not rust they only rust if the aluminum is all scratched up.
A paperclip cannot rust because rust is the oxidation of iron or steel as a result with interaction with water or air. Therefore a paperclip cannot rust because it is made out of iron or steel. It is made out of aluminum.
Since aluminum cannot rust ('rust' is a specific term for the corrosion of iron), carbon steel will be faster. Althpough an oxide coat forms on both aluminum and steel, the oxides are of a different nature. The iron "rust" is a pervious coating which allows water to be held against the metal and oxygen to enter and react with the wet metal, aluminum oxide is an impervious layer which protects the metal from further decomposition,
Aluminium does not rust. Iron is the only metal that rusts.
Rust is Iron oxide, so no.
aluminum doesnt rust. it oxidises so needs oxygen from any source

No. We have an aluminum table and chair set by the pool. It is outside 24/7x365 for 3 years now. No problems.

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.

Under most conditions aluminum will not rust in water. However, if the aluminum is alloyed with another metal, oxidation (rusting) could take place.
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.

Water and aluminum foil can remove surface rust on the chrome of a gun. Steel wool can also be used to remove rust. It is advised to never use a oil to remove rust or to clean a gun.
Aluminum does not rust. Alumininum can also be anodized to keep it from corroding when salt and other contaminats get on it.
