The can is made of steel, thinly coated with tin or another non corrosive metal. If the can gets scratched, then the steel can start to rust.
Rust in peace another one bites the rust rust vs. oxygen: The battle of the century feeling rusty? to rust or not to rust... that is the question
Iron needs oxygen and water to rust. When iron is exposed to air and moisture, a chemical reaction occurs, forming iron oxide (rust) on the surface of the metal. This process is accelerated in the presence of salt or acids.
Yes - the steel under the rust is a metal (steel is iron with a trace of the non-metal, carbon), while the rust is iron oxide.
Copper IUDs cannot rust because they are made of copper, which does not rust. However, they may develop a greenish patina over time due to oxidation, which is normal and does not affect the effectiveness of the IUD.
A rusty nail is typically made of iron or steel that has been exposed to moisture, leading to oxidation and the formation of rust on its surface. The rust is a reddish-brown iron oxide that forms when iron or steel reacts with oxygen and water.
Because the probable tin coating is porous or damaged.
A tin used for food packaging is actually tin-plated steel. So if the tin wears off, the steel beneath will rust.
A tin used for food packaging is actually tin-plated steel. So if the tin wears off, the steel beneath will rust.
Tin actually will corrode. It is not actually all that resistant to corrosion. It is, however, less susceptible to corrosion than iron. That may be where the myth that it doesn't rust comes from.
Because so-called tin cans are actually made of Steel (Iron/Carbon alloy) with a thin coating of tin to act as a corrosion inhibitor.
