Metals are prevented from rusting by providing a coating on the surface of the metal to stop the metal from mixing with oxygen and H2O in the air.
Please do not copy this word for word. I am handing this in for a report. Thanks!

The process of coating iron to prevent it from rusting is?
Bluing (eg firearms), galvanizing (Zinc coating), electroplating with cadmium, brass or other protective metals, and paint are coatings used to prevent rust.
Can rusting be reversed?

Are farm gates succeptible to rust?
Depending on the material that the gates are made of, rust is a potential issue. If they are made from wood rusting won't take place. Additionally, there are many kinds of treatment for metals that can delay or even prevent rusting from happening.
How does coating iron prevent rusting?
Coating prevent the iron from contacting air and moisture. So it prevents iron from rusting.
How does plastic coating prevent rusting?
Electrolysis can be used to prevent rusting because metals give away electrons and if the metal is wired up to the negative electrode it gains electrons which means it will prevent rusting as it isn't losing electrons.
What elements undergoes rusting?
Most of the metals will oxidize, but the only one for which that process is called "rusting" is iron.
