Corrosion and rusting are two chemical processes, which result in disintegration of materials.
--Corrosion is the layer-by-layer spoiling or degrading of any metallic surface through such agents as oxygen, water vapour, hydrogen sulfide and other possible pollutants.
--Rusting is merely a specific case of corrosion where the metal surface concerned is iron and the red-brown flakes of Fe2O3.nH2O that form are what is called rust.
