Best Answer

The speed at which a given piece of metal rusts depends upon the type of metal it is - pure iron rusts much faster than most iron alloys - as well as exposure to water and other rust catalysts. Furthermore, the dimensions that you give, 3 by 0.5 by 3, don't mean anything unless you give units, such as, 3 inches, or 3 centimeters, or 3 feet, etc. The dimensionless number does not describe the size of a piece of metal.
