Will an Aluminum Deck Rust?
It's a question that we get asked often here at Wahoo Decks and it's a relevant question. Many fear that because aluminum is metal, like most metal products, it will eventually rust. Even so, the fact of the matter is that aluminum does not rust; however, aluminum can corrode. First, let's address how rust can actually affect aluminum and what you can do to prevent it.
"When iron-containing metals combine with oxygen, oxidation, and eventually rusting, occurs. Because aluminum, like copper, is not an iron-containing metal, it doesn't actually rust itself. If you have a rust stain on an aluminum surface, it's not because the aluminum itself has rusted. More likely, it has been stained from a nearby metal. If an iron-containing metal, such as steel, rest on, is attached to, or drips water on another surface, it can create a reddish-brown stain and make it appear that the surface has rusted" (Rust on Aluminum).
