The process of rusting cannot be called combustion due to the following reasons : ... No energy is obtained in a rusting process. Combustion is a chemical process in which a combustible substance reacts with oxygen to produce heat and light whereas in rusting, a metal reacts with oxygen to produce metallic oxide.
