What kind of gases in an atmosphere could accelerate oxidation processes?

Recently, looking for information for worldbuilding purposes of my story, I found a post about how in a more oxygen rich atmosphere, the oxidation processes would take place more quickly.

Subsequently, I asked a question where they denied this information and let me know that the proportion of oxygen in an atmosphere, at least at levels that are breathable for the human being, would not affect the oxidation processes.

So, here's my question, what kind of gases present in an atmosphere would make the oxidation processes faster than those produced on Earth?

In case you are interested in the context, I would like to know this information, since in the story I am thinking the rapid wear of ferrous metals has forced humanity to look for new alternatives in other materials, less malleable or durable, to forge weapons.
