@IsraeldeAraujo Yes, it hasn't been used in a while and has deteriorated, like a rusty chain.

@IsraeldeAraujo The chain is rusty. The chain is rusted. The chain is rusting.

@IsraeldeAraujo "The chain is rusted" I would use this if I want to say the chain shouldn't be trusted/used.
If I don't like the fact it is rusting and want to point that out, in order to get a solution. "The chain is rusting"
If I simply want to make you aware of its condition. "The chain is rusty"
The last is not very common as it is the same as "the chain is rusty"
