Combustion is a chemical process in which a substance reacts with oxygen and gives out energy during the process in the form of either heat or light or both. Rusting of iron is an exothermic process as heat is released during rusting. Hence, it is a kind of slow combustion...

No. Rusting cannot be called combustion because combustion is a process in which a substance burns with a blue flame.
Rusting comes under corrosion in which metals are eaten away by the action of water, air, moisture and other chemicals present in the atmosphere.
So rusting cant be called as combustion while it comes under corrosion.
Hope I have resolved your query
