This is not true. Oxidation is a broad type of chemical reaction involving the loss of electrons. Rust is a type of oxidation, much as a square is a type of rectangle. Oxidation can occur on the surface level (tarnishing of some metals, passivation of aluminum) or throughout (combustion). Rust actually only occurs on the surface as well, but the iron oxide is less dense than the metal and it increases the available area of the surface exposed to oxygen.
Yeah... Reading back my comment, it was badly written... I know rust is a type of oxydation, but that's not what I wrote!

Well, not quite. Rust eats into iron because oxidised iron is larger and much more brittle than unoxidised iron, physically ripping itself out of place.
Many oxides arent that much larger than their base metals and form a nice patina protecting the metal underneath, like in aluminium.
Other oxides destroy the structural integrity of the metal and eat into it, forming corrosion. Rust is just corrosion specific to iron.
I didn't know of other type of oxides that eat into the metal like rust does...
But it's true that a "rusted crown" implies that it is iron-based, so the cantrip should work!

Lol thermite is my favorite oxidation & rust remover reaction

It’s artifact level - a cantrip simply doesn’t work on it. When the players ask why, you just tell them they don’t know - neither does anyone in the town/city whatever they’re in.

Ah yes, removes the rust, the object, and the table it was sitting on...

So a player that told you from beginning what he wants to do, which doesnt fit into your story, should they be forbiden to participate?
I never said anything even vaguely approaching that?
What do you even mean by "told me from the beginning what he wants to do"? If I'm prepping a fantasy campaign and one of my players tells me, "I'd kinda prefer we do something sci-fi" then I have no obligation to change my entire campaign because a player isn't happy with it. I might still do it, if I felt interested in running that and the rest of the table does too, but imo I'm well within my rights to tell him no.
If you mean that he wants a plotline of his own then I'd do my best to accommodate that, assuming it doesn't clash with the rest of the campaign horribly. If it does, then I'd just say that and offer alternatives if I can think of any. If I can't, then of course he can still play if he'd like.

How tf do I pronounce that*

Easy. He needs to roll 100 on a single d20 or the spell fails and creates a big neon sign above the player characters head that follows them everywhere and reads "annoying little shit"

I don't know if you're joking, but just for fun:
