Rusting is a type of oxidation. Iron forms a compound with oxygen, iron(III) oxide or ferric oxide, which we call rust.
A screw can be made from steel, aluminum, titanium, bronze, or even plastics like Teflon or nylon. A screw can be made from pretty much any structural material.

Rusting _is_ oxidation. Iron and the oxygen combine to form iron oxide, which is rust.
Screws are made of all sorts of materials: wood, plastic, various metals, ceramics, etc. Some screws are made from one material, but are coated in another to prevent oxidation.

Oxidation reduction is the chemical means which takes place when metal rusts. So it has everything to do with rusting. Also screws are made of metal, and plastic.( it really depends what and where you need them for)

Oxidation is the chemical process of oxygen combining with another element. Fire and rusting are two types of oxidation reactions.
Screws can be made of any material; steel, brass, plastic, even wood!

i think 'oxidation' basically means 'rotting.' rust is the product of metal going bad and becoming unusable. meat can oxidize. when copper oxidizes the effect is desired, it makes the green streaking, but the metal is still damaged.
you can get screws made of different materials, go to the hardware store and check them out.

rust is iron oxide, the oxidation product of the iron in many alloys. Most screws are aluminum, steel or some such, depending onthe application.
