When rusting occurs, some of the outer metal converts to a crumbly iron oxide that doesn't have the same strength as the metal.
The deeper the rusting goes into the metal , the weaker the bar will become.

∙ 12y agoit is because when iron reacts with oxygen and forms iron oxide(rust)then if that rust is removed the part if iron which has reacted with it is also removed.so in thus way it decreases the strenth of it.
