Rust
Steel is a base, hence the reason it corrodes. The Iron and other elements in the steel are formed to create 'steel', and hardened in a process called galvanizing to stop the corrosion. Also by definition, any metal is a base.
No, stainless steel never corrodes.
By strength, if you mean durability, then i'd think it was steel iron corrodes pretty easily
chlorine gas
roadways are wet , salt is used on roads to melt ice and it corrodes steel .
neither of them corrodes. Both of them are passivated, in stainless steel it is a film of chromium oxide, in aluminium a film of aluminium oxide.
Steel corrodes, especially in moist environments. If there were a steel window frame near the ocean, it would be likely that it would corrode and collapse because of the environment it is in.
Steel is an example of an alloy. To be exact an interstitial alloy which means that a much smaller element is inserted into the larger element to make an alloy which has heightened characteristics. Steel is comprised of iron and carbon. It's very strong, corrodes in harsh sunlight and rain.
Chemicals can have varying effects on steel depending on the type of chemical and its concentration. Some chemicals can corrode or weaken steel, while others can provide protection or enhance its properties. It is important to understand the specific chemical reactions involved in order to predict and manage the impact on steel.
I think they have to be painted because if you do not paint something that is steel than it will rust beyoned repair.
Iron (Fe) is the main component of steel. Steel is formed when iron is mixed with carbon or other elements.
Steel is a composition of (primarily) Carbon and Iron. The more carbon, the harder, less ductile the steel. Stainless steel is Carbon, Iron and Chromium, that is galvinized (diped into zinc, which corrodes the outer layer of stainless steel,) making it stainless.
