Best Answer

I work in a plating shop and some times parts come in rusted. The platers dip the parts in DILUTED ACID TO REMOVE THE RUST and degrease. Important, the parts MUST BE RINSED IN DIONIZED WATER. There is one problem, the parts sometimes come out etched on the surface,(ROUGH FINISH). due to, to much time in the diluted acid tank. I dont know what type of acid or the ratio acid vs.dillution. You can call any honest plating company and maybe they will help u out. Good-Luck

Because it prevents moisture from accessing the nail. Water is a catalyst for the process of rusting.

Why does painting an iron object slow down its rusting?

rust is caused by the interaction of the iron and the oxygen in the air. when iron is painted, there is a barrier between the iron and oxygen.


When rust is a compound with the formula which elements combine to form rust?

when certain elements (such as steel) are exposed to oxygen, they react, and rust is formed. However this reaction is very slow


How corrosion takes place on iron?

Corrosion is the slow chemical change a metal undergoes when exposed to oxygen. The chemical change is the rust that forms on the metal. Iron is extremely susceptible to corrosion (rust). Corrosion can begin to form rust on iron right after the Ingots have cooled at the Foundry.


Can graphite rackets rust?

Why does rust weight more?

Talking about Iron. Rust is an oxide of Iron. Basically Iron that rusts has captured Oxygen from the air around it in a chemical reaction - a slow one thankfully! The weight increase is due to the attached Oxygen.


What is formed when iron combines with oxygen in the air?

Iron reacting with oxygen produces rust, Fe2O3 (Iron (III) oxide) or FeO2 (Iron (II) oxide) depending on the composition of the iron.


Why iron does not rust?

Iron does rust by reacting with oxygen.


Do only iron compounds rust?

Iron compounds do not rust. Iron and its alloys can rust. Although other metals can corrode it is usually only called rust when it is iron that is corroding.

Which liquids rust faster?

Liquids do not rust, iron does, rust is Hydrated Iron (III) oxide, so the only substance which can rust iron is water


What does rust and iron form?

Rust is an iron oxide, Fe2O3.


How is rust produced?

Rust is iron oxide. So when iron oxidizes you get rust. So iron and steel (iron and carbon) are prone to this happening while metal like aluminum well not rust.
