Well, isn't that a fascinating question! Shipwrecks rust slowly in the deep ocean because the water is cold and lacks oxygen, which are two key ingredients for rust to form quickly. The pressure in the deep ocean also plays a role in slowing down the rusting process. It's like nature's way of preserving these hidden treasures for us to discover and marvel at.

Why do sunken ships rust quickly in shallow water and slowly in deep water?

Rusting is the result of oxidation of iron (steel). Theer's more dissolved oxygen in shallow water than there is in deep water.

Do old cars rust quicker then new cars?

Some cars rust faster than others. It depends on the technology used in the making of the cars. There are old cars who rust very slowly and new cars who rust very quickly.


How long will it take a tool to rust in water?

There are a lot of factors.. rusting is the oxidization of iron, it needs the water and air. Most tools are Chrome plated (or similar) which will protect the iron from the air - so rust will occur where there is a scratch or wear - and then the rust may form a layer that protect the rest of the tool from further rust. The amount of air in the water and the movement of the water will also effect how quickly rusting occurs. There have been plenty of old tools found on shipwrecks that are still in "reasonable" condition - covered in rust but still recognisable


Will a chrome plated bmx rust away?

Chromed items can certainly rust, it depends on the quality of the chrome job, the maintenance of the item, and the conditions the item is stored and used in. Dry = little risk of rust, wet= bigger risk of rust. wet and salty, as when close to the ocean = big risk of rust.

How do you remove rust from a truck frame?

Surface rust on a truck frame can be removed with abrasives like sand blasting or a scale removal tool. If the rust is deep then it may have compromised the frames integrity and will need to be professionally cut out and replaced.


Can brake rotors go bad if a car sits for 8 months?

They will have flash rust due to moisture, if they are thick enough, driving slowly, after a few miles of light braking will clean them of the rust.


Was the real Titanic taken out of the ocean?

No it is currently being eaten away by a harmful rust bacteria


Will the ship which is sunk in an ocean deeply cause rust or not?

Most definitely, the bacteria and particles in the bottom of the ocean will cause rust until the ship completely disintegrate, and even the Titanic will completely disintegrate within the next twenty years, showing that most ships will last underwater for only around 130 years, but depending on what ocean it is in.


How does iron react with deionized water?

Iron reacts slowly with deionized water to form iron hydroxide and hydrogen gas. The reaction is enhanced when oxygen is present, leading to the formation of rust (iron oxide).


Does a screw rust in water?

Yes, screws made of steel or iron can rust in water because water can cause oxidation of the metal, leading to the formation of rust. Using stainless steel screws can help prevent rusting in water due to its corrosion-resistant properties.
