Rust is porous, it allows air & water to get to the metal underneath.
Copper corrodes, things made of iron rust. Copper can corrode, but it takes longer than it does for iron to rust.
Nails do not rust in milk because milk does not contain the elements necessary for the rusting process to occur. Rusting requires moisture, oxygen, and iron to create iron oxide, which is what we commonly refer to as rust. Milk lacks the oxygen component necessary for rusting to happen.
Rust is an iron oxide compound. There are several different iron oxides that make up rust.
yes rust is a compound because it is a formed by the reaction between Iron and Oxygen. These two react to give Iron Oxide which is called as rust. Edited by Dr.J. - The iron oxides that is rust is the Fe2O3 variety.
Whenever water or air is around iron for a while it can rust because the iron bonds to the oxygen forming iron oxide.
Zinc doesn't rust; zinc protect iron (and alloys) from rusting.
Galvanizing
Yes, paint can protect iron from rust by acting as a barrier between the iron and moisture in the air. However, if the paint gets chipped or scratched, it can expose the iron to oxygen and water, leading to rust formation. Regular maintenance and touch-ups are important to ensure continued protection.
No they will not get rust they are not iron to get rust. only iron get rust.
it probably will over a long time, but it doesnt have much oxygen cause the water is diluted so it wont rust quickly
Iron does rust by reacting with oxygen.
Copper corrodes, things made of iron rust. Copper can corrode, but it takes longer than it does for iron to rust.
I think that srtonger metals like gold do not rust. I also think that some metals, when combined with others do not rust, like when you combine iron with aluminum, it doesn't rust. By definition, the only metals that rust are iron and iron alloys. Even so, not all iron alloys rust. Stainless steel (an iron alloy) does not rust. Gold doesn't rust, in that it doesn't combine with oxygen from the atmosphere to form a surface of gold oxide. But it can tarnish, that is, for a thin transparent darker layer to form on the surface. however steel will rust. to protect a metal from rusting you must galvanzie it or paint. for example to galvanzie iron you must use a metal higher in the electrochemical series like zinc. this will protect it from rusting.
Wax them or coat them with oil to keep moisture away.
Liquids do not rust, iron does, rust is Hydrated Iron (III) oxide, so the only substance which can rust iron is water
Rust is an iron oxide, Fe2O3.
Iron does not rust when in contact with magnesium because magnesium is more reactive than iron. The magnesium will undergo oxidation, sacrificing itself to protect the iron from corrosion. This forms a protective layer on the iron surface, preventing it from coming into contact with oxygen and water, which are needed for rusting.
