salt aids in the rusting process. you can also use an electrolisis process. for example putting a metal plate in water with the negative pole of a batery attached to it and the positive also in the water but not touching the plate should speed it up a bunch. I am not actually sure wich polarity will make it rust quickist but make sure there is salt in the water or else it wont work. You can try switching which pole is attached to the plate and which is free floating in the water. This is also a way to seperate hydrogen and oxygen in H2O

The speed of chemical reactions, like rusting, doubles every 10 degrees Centigrade. If you put the metal in boiling water, it will corrode almost 200 times faster.

mix some salt in water and let it sit. mix the mixture around a couple of times a day.
oh by the way dont do the battery idea, it could make the battery overheat, and possibly explode.

Alternating wet/dry cycles, with salt water for an even quicker turn around.

Use saltwater and vinegar on it and leave it outside. Or just put salt on it.
