Very little. Maybe nothing.
I would think that "rusted" was more oxidized than "rusty." A "rusty" hinge might have a little bit of rust. A "rusted" hinge would probably be more thoroughly oxidized.
But that is my opinion.

Fabioj, I have two pieces of advice for you.
1. Instead of giving us fragments or single words, please give us full sentences to work with.
2. Don't write a new post to say "Thank you" to anyone. It is much quicker for all of us if you simply click on the "Thank" button in the bottom left-hand corner of any post you find helpful.
