1. applying paint on it.
2. avoid over exposure to air because it causes oxidation which leads to early rusting.
3. avoid exposure to moisture. Answer: On new steel - Zinc plating (galvanizing) or sandblasting followed by zinc-rich epoxy undercoat and epoxy topcoat. On surface- rusted / pitted steel:- scrape, chip and wire brush as much rust scale away as possible, apply a ferric tannate based rust converter( don't use phosphoric acid type, It's crap) and when dried fully, apply a zinc based primer and an oil based topcoat. This works best inside auto panels when rustproofing cars, and even better when rust preventative wax is applied over the top(after paint is dry) In areas that can be reached, a small sand blaster can also be used. Fish oil is also effective. Sacrificial anodes are used in steel hulls to slow rust.

Which pollutant causes the greatest corrosion of steel structures?
Answer 1: oxygen and carbon in the air :-) Answer 2: Depends on what type of corrosion you are referring to. Rust and corrosion are typically used interchangeably. Rust is one type of corrosion. Corrosion is essentially the disintegration of a engineered material. Rust is a chemical reaction, but there are other chemical reactions that cause corrosion of steel (typically acids). Other types of corrosion include fretting, erosion, cavitation, and galvanic reactions. There are many methods to prevent corrosion. One of the most versatile of prevention solutions is electroless nickel plating. Electroless nickel resists all types of corrosion.

What is in rust remover?
Most simple rust removers contain phosphoric acid, which dissolves flaky or granular rust, but does not seriously attack the parent steel. In fact it leaves a fine coating of iron phosphate which is a slight protective, and provides a good substrate for paint. Scrub off as much of the flaky scale rust as possible - for this just wastefuly consumes the rust remover.
