Answer:

Aluminium Can not rust (Can't rust also meaning Corrode)

Because it's surface is protected by aluminium Oxide which stops the metal below from coming in contact with the air (which contains Oxygen) Unlike rust, which can flake off the surface of iron and steel objects, the layer of aluminium oxide does not flake off.

Corrode

destroy or damage (metal, stone, or other materials) slowly by chemical action.
