Rusting is an irreversible process.
Any chemical reaction, such as metal rusting, or toast burning are irreversible.
Rusting is a chemical property because it is irreversible. It changes the identity of the substance.

Yes, rusting is a very important problem for all iron structures.
Well, isn't that a happy little question! Rusting of iron is like a beautiful dance between iron, oxygen, and water. Once they start swirling together and creating that lovely rust, it's quite difficult to undo their masterpiece. But remember, just like in painting, even irreversible changes can lead to new beginnings and possibilities.
Surface rusting may be removed without weakening the metal nail too much. A badly rusted nail may not have enough metal left to be strong enough to still be useful. Therefore, irreversible change depends on the depth the rusting has reached.
Nail rusting is an irreversible change because it involves a chemical reaction where iron in the nail reacts with oxygen in the air to form iron oxide (rust). This process permanently alters the composition of the nail, making it difficult to reverse the formation of rust and return the nail to its original state without significant effort.
"The problems you caused are irreversible; they can never be remedied."
Irreversible means something cannot be reversed once it has been done.Asking people on Wiki.answers.com to do your homework can cause irreversible damage to your final grade when you can't do it on your own.
I'm unable to display pictures, but irreversible changes include burning of paper, digestion of food, and rusting of iron. Once these processes occur, it is not possible to return the substances back to their original state.
Steel castings can prevent rusting depending on what the kind of steel. Carbon steel may cause rusting at a higher rate than stainless steel.
