Rust is a kind of corrosion -- a decay or breakdown of a material in reaction to its environment. Specifically, rust is an electro-chemical corrosion that occurs in the presence of iron, oxygen, and water. Oxygen and water are available in the open air, and iron is the principal ingredient in steel.
