YES! The AN is veriry corrosive. AN should always be stored away from moisture and oxidizing materials (contain carbon). This combination will provide an ignition source for the AN so I can burn. Fumes can be extremely irritating and toxic.

What metals dont rust?

the metals that dont rust are gold, stainless steel and silver


What types of metals do not 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.


What does iron Oxide mean?

I'm pretty sure that it is rust; because rust is the product of oxidization on metals.


Is it hazardous to combine bleach with dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride octyl decyldimethyl ammonium chloride dioctyl dimethyl ammonium chloride didecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride and alkyl ammonium?

You Betcha! Chlorine Gas, a biproduct of its chemical reaction (Mixture you specified) is deadly, Its also corrosive so you will "rust in peace"....don't play with chemicals!


Does fermium rust?

Rust is a term that specifically applies to the corrosion of iron and other iron alloys (ferrous metals) through oxidation. As such by definition other metals do not rust. However other metals can be corroded (broken down into constituent elements / atoms by chemical reactions). This process in other metals is therefore known as corrosion rather than rusting.

Why do metals need to be protected against rust and tarnish?

Metals need to be protected against rust and tarnish because rust and tarnish eat metals.

Do all metals rust?

Only metals containing iron rust. Other metals, over time, corrode.


What air that gives rust to metals?

Explosure to moist air will form rust on metals.


What metals do not rust or degrade outdoors?

The metals that do not rust or degrade outdoors are diamond plate, gold, iridium, and platinum. Other types of metals can rust or corrode differently.


Does all metals decompose?

No not really, metals rust. However, rust can be considered metal decomposition (kind of).


What causes different metals to rust?

Light and water and Oxygen. Metals which easily form oxides, especially when wet, will rust.


Does diamond rust?

no rust mostly happens to metals and diamonds are not metal


Do all pure metals rust?

No, not all metals rust. Rust itself is iron oxide and comes about when iron metal oxidises; therefore only Iron rusts.


Is rust a protist?

Rust is classified as a protist. However, this is not the rust that occurs in metals but a fungal disease which is known as rust and smut.


The ability for metals to rust is a physical property of metals?

No, since rust is a chemical change (oxidation).
