Corrosion is a chemical reaction that weakens a metal. It is a redox reaction, to be exact. By creating an alloy, new atoms (or different rations of atoms) are added in the metal being made, which changes the structure of the metal. This can form stronger bonds, which can be resistant to the redox corrosion reaction.
Note: Alloys can be made that have a worse resistance to such reactions, but there is no market for them, so they are not sold.
Alloying can prevent iron from rusting because it stabilizes the metal. If the metal is stable it won't react with oxygen.
chhaka jaise paadta hai vaisa hi ye bhi kaam karta hai
some alloys do rust e.g steel. by adding nickel to steel you get stainless steel, this is a rust free alloy.
There is no one single answer to your question as various alloying materials will achieve this. There are also various forms of fatigue failure, for instance thermal and bending, which will be affected by what alloying material is present.
Arsenic can be an alloying component for bronze.
One way to prevent the corrosion of iron is by applying a protective coating, such as paint or a corrosion-resistant metal coating. Another method is by using corrosion inhibitors, which are chemicals that can be added to the environment around the iron to slow down or prevent the corrosion process. Additionally, ensuring proper maintenance and regular inspection of iron structures can help identify any signs of corrosion early on and take appropriate actions to prevent further damage.
In mild steel there are negligeble alloying elements which has no effect on physical & chemical properties of MS. On the other hand due to alloying elements [ Ni & Cr ] oxidation is avoided.
in my opinion, the value of corrosion rate obtained from certain reading is generally determine general corrosion rate, regardless what type of corrosion occur on a specific surface. in localized corrosion, where only some spots on surface is exposed to corrosion and other may be covered by film and etc. From my time of study, still didn't fine any research that can determine corrosion rate of localized corrosion unless u have a really micro- instrumentation that can monitor corrosion on the localized spots..

Steel and and iron can be protected by coating with zinc (galvanizing) or alloying with chromium or just simply painting it every once in a while. Cathodic protection is also extensively used to protect against corrosion.
alloying elements can be added to lower cost improve properties - it could be hardness, toughness, ductility, conductivity, corrosion resistance, pitting resistance etc
Alloying of metals is used to improve the mechanical properties, resistance to corrosion, stabilization of the crystalline structure, increasing the hardness, resistance to high temperatures etc.

Carbon steel is a type of steel in which the main alloying element is carbon. It is prone to rusting but treating it can offer a small amount of protection against corrosion.
Firstly, it should be pointed out that only an iron object will rust; the general term for any metal is corrosion. However the ways to avoid it are similar: paint, galvanisation and alloying.
Plutonium for use in nuclear weapons is alloyed with gallium. Delta-phase plutonium is alloyed at 3-3.5 molar percent, or by weight, 0.8 - 1%. Alloying plutonium with gallium increases its thermodynamic stability throughout a range of temperatures, and decreases plutonium's susceptibility to corrosion.
Here is a link to a description of the alloying process for a generic alloy production method.
acidic liquids help the best and so does salt water
It would displace oxygen and reduce the corrosion of the tanks.
A stainless steel corrosion resistant variety contains more than 10% chromium along with possible other alloying elements. Corrosion attacks in stainless steel are resisted by weak mineral and acids and it is able to keep its strength at high temperatures. The most common grades are 304, 316, and 409.
