How corrosion takes place on iron?
Corrosion is the slow chemical change a metal undergoes when exposed to oxygen. The chemical change is the rust that forms on the metal. Iron is extremely susceptible to corrosion (rust). Corrosion can begin to form rust on iron right after the Ingots have cooled at the Foundry.
How does orange juice rust metal?
Oranges and other acidic fruit like lemon have acids in them that will rust the metal
What metal has the ability to rust?
Iron is the only metal that can rust. The usual term for the destruction of a metal by oxidation is corrosion, and 'rust' or 'rusting' is the term for corrosion specific to iron and its compounds.
How does oil stop rust?

Does fake gold rust?
Gold coins don't rust, but they do tarnish. Rust is a form of oxidation that continues until the original metal is entirely converted, while tarnish forms a layer of oxidized metal that eventually seals the remainder from further deterioration.
What type of liquid does metal rust the fastest in?
Water with oxygen (air). However, only one metal 'rusts' . It is IRON and forms iron oxide (rust). Other metals do NOT rust. They form 'oxides.
What is found in the air that reacted with the metal making it dirty?
It is not dirty - moisture reacts with the metal and forms iron oxide, or rust.
What metal rusts by oxidation?
Many metals will oxidize but only Iron forms rust when doing so.
How do you remove the green stain on metal?
You can remove the green stain on metal by treating the rust stains with a cleaning agent such as a lime remover or some kind of harsh acidic substance.
Why do Metal rust?
Rust is the name given to the compound Iron oxide, which forms when Iron reacts with Oxygen in the air. Metals which do not contain Iron or Chlorine don't rust.

Does aerosol make metal rust?

Is gold the only metal that does not rust?
Gold is not the only metal that does not rust. Copper is another metal that doesn't rust, and so is platinum and nickel.
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.
