Which materials will not 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.
Why don't iron and steel rust?
Rusting usually means the corrosion of iron in the presence of water and oxygen form hydrated iron oxides and hydroxides. Different alloys of iron will behave differently from the pure metal- stainless steel is an example. Most other metals corrode, and this depends on th eir relative reactivity. (see link for reactivity series) They may fom oxides (for example aluminium and beryllium) a sulfide layer (silver), a mixed carbonate/sulfate layer like copper. A few pure metals do not corrode examples are gold and platinum.
Is a piece of steel rusting a chemical reaction?
Yes. Rusting is a chemical reaction between iron and oxygen.
What will happen if you put the rusting metals in the vinegar and alcohol?
Vinegar can corrode iron, alcohol not.
What is the name of slow oxidation reaction involving metals?
corrosion (in iron this is called rusting)
Rusting of steel is?
A good example of an oxidation reaction. The rusting of steel is essentially just rusting (oxidation) of iron.
How do you repair flaking rusting anodized metal?
It can't be anodized if it's flaking and rusting - the chemicals used to anodize metal will destroy the metals - steel and iron - that flake and rust.
Why is galvinising used?
to protect iron (or other metals from rusting).
Which materials will not rust?

What elements undergoes rusting?
Most of the metals will oxidize, but the only one for which that process is called "rusting" is iron.
What metal do you use to protect steel from corroding?
There are several metals which can help protect iron from rusting. The iron is electroplated with a non-corrosive metal such as aluminum, copper, zinc, or titanium.
Will oxygen rust?
No. Rusting is a process exclusive to metals, particularly iron.
Which metals can be used to protect iron from rusting and how?
Try covering it in Zinc
Why iron is converted to steel?
1.TO PREVENT IT FROM RUSTING 2.steel has lustre 3.iron cannot be used for utensils
What do you call it when iron oxidises?
Corrosion is the oxidation of metals in general. Rusting is the oxidation of iron in particular.
What are example of ferrous metals?
iron, steel and other metals that contain iron
