Does increase in hardness of a metal increases its weight?
Increasing the hardness of a metal does not directly increase its weight. Hardness is a measure of a metal's resistance to deformation, while weight is determined by its mass. However, changes in the metal's composition or structure to increase hardness may affect its density, which could in turn impact its weight.
When iron rusts does its weight increase or decrease?
Actually it doesn't affect its weight at all. During the chemical change that occurs when iron rusts, the weight does not change because weight never changes during a chemical reaction because nothing new is being created nor destroyed, only combined.
Why buckets are made of plastics?
They are lighter in weight than metal ones and won't rust or corrode.
What is the best rust solution for metal?
The best rust solution for metal is a rust converter or rust inhibitor that can stop the rusting process and protect the metal from further corrosion.
Does rust increase the weight of a nail?
The rusty nail weighs more. Rust is iron oxide, a molecule consisting of iron and oxygen. The mass of the iron in the rust molecules comes from the original nail, but the mass of the oxygen has come from the air. When rust forms on iron, the mass of the iron object is increased by the mass of the oxygen that has combined with some of the iron.
What is the metal added to steel to increase rust resistance?
The name of the mineral that is added to steel in order to increase rust resistance, is chromium. Chromium is a very hard and brittle type of mineral that resist tarnishing and takes a high polish.
Do metals gain or lose weight when rusted?
Rust is also known as an object becoming oxidated, this means it gains oxygen. A normal iron atom when left in the atmosphere will rust and gain oxygen FeO this means when things rust they gain weight.
Is rust a type of fungus?
No, rust is the formation of a layer of a metal oxide on the surface of a metal.
Why does rust flake away from metal?
Rust flakes away from metal because its a layer of loose material. The metal underneath is no longer protected and will begin to rust also.
Can orange jucie rust metal?
yes orange jucie does rust metal.
What mainly makes metal rust?
acid rain is what most commonly makes metal rust
How does cast iron respond to rust?
Rust is the oxidation of the cast iron. Oxygen in the air combines with the base metal to create the rust. The rust protects the metal underneath. Cast iron is not "reacting" to rust. It is participating in FORMING the rust. ************** previous answer below *************** Very well as the rust actually protects the base metal
