yeee well. ... just paint and oxygen cant get to it so it wont corrode. i am sure 'bout this! u could also galvanize it!
Usually you have to stop it corroding FIRST, then paint it to protect it.
KEEPS OXYGEN FROM COMING INTO CONTACT WITH THE IRON.
Zinc or Aluminium anodes are often used to stop iron struts on oil rigs from corroding due to salt water.
to stop is from corroding!...
All except the corroding of iron do NOT change the substance involved.
That'd be a chemical change, as steel/iron turns into iron oxide. Usually called rusting, or corroding.
Other metals can corrode, but the term rust is usually just refers to the product of corroding iron or iron alloys.
Yes, corroding metal is a chemical change because it involves a chemical reaction between the metal and substances in its environment, such as oxygen or water. This reaction causes a change in the composition and properties of the metal.
Slowly, because the zinc galvanizing coating must corrode away almost completely before the iron can begin corroding.
Yes, rust can cause a piece of metal to stop working properly by corroding and weakening it over time. Rust is a form of oxidation that occurs when iron and oxygen react with moisture in the air, leading to the formation of iron oxide. If left untreated, rust can eventually render the metal unusable.
Yes. When metal rusts the iron is changed into iron oxide. This type of change is called a redox reaction. The iron is oxidized, meaning is has lost electrons.
Salt doesn't dissolve objects but the ion chloride has a corroding action on iron and alloys.
