It weakens it.
The most visible effect is the formation of rust that is composed by different iron oxides with different colors.

Is ferrous magnetic?
Generally, yes. The lay-man's translation of something that is ferrous is "it contains iron". Substances containing iron are commonly magnetic. One good example is black rust - called ferrous oxide. Careful, though, since red rust - called ferric oxide - is NOT magnetic.
What is the chemical formula for ferrous nitrate?
The chemical formula for anhydrous ferrous nitrate, also called iron (II) nitrate, is Fe(NO3)2.
What is the differences between ferrous metals and non-ferrous metals?
Metals having iron contents that is fe in them are comes in the category of ferrous metals thats why thy are called Feerous metals because of the presence of Fe. on the other side non- ferrous metals does not have iron content.
Area of low pressure where air masses meet and rise is called?
it is a tornado
What is the formula for Ferrous fluorite?
Fluorite, as an ion, would be chemically similar to chlorite, which is ClO2, or bromite, which is BrO2. However, I am having trouble finding actual compounds with ions containing fluorine and 2 or more oxygen atoms. The -ide suffix is used for binary (2-element) compounds. There is also a mineral called fluorite. Its composition is CaF2. If ferrous fluorite exists its formula would be Fe(FO2)2. No such compound is listed in my CRC handbook, but it's an old edition. ------------------------------ FeF2 would be called iron (II) or ferrous fluoride (and not ferrous fluorite).
What is the white stuff that grows on metal?
It's most likely some kind of corrosion caused from oxidation (aka an oxide). For example, with iron (ferrous) based metals it's called iron oxide, commonly called "rust" and is a brownish-red color. On other metals, like aluminum, it is simply called aluminum oxide and is a whitish color. I *suspect* the "white stuff" is the corrosion of aluminum called "aluminum oxide". Could be wrong, but it's the simplest answer. Search Google Images for "aluminum oxide" and see if it's the same stuff. Happy corrosion hunting!

Why are ferrous metals called ferrous metals?
from the latin for iron
What is a hawiian flower called?
Hibiscus is a flower commonly associated with Hawaii
What island is circe from?
Circe is most commonly associated with the island called Aeaea.
How does oil have an effect on the corrosion of iron?
Oil coats the surface and excludes oxygen and water. Oxygen, particularly in the presence of water, reacts with iron and forms a mixture of hydrated ferric and ferrous oxides, which is called rust.
When a substance burns it reacts with a gas called?
Oxygen is the gas most commonly associated with burning.
When metal enters a chemical reaction what is it called?
The process called when metal is destroyed by a chemical reaction is called Corrosion. Electrochemical of oxidation of metals reacts with oxygen thus corrosion will occur on metals.
What are the 2 classes of metals?
groups 3-12 on the table are called transition metals Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Ra are all what is called alkali earth metals
What is the pigment containing iron called?
Hemoglobin
What is the ferrous metal called to make car bodies?
Mild Steel is a Ferrous Metal used for making Car and Fridge Bodies.
What do zinc blocks do on a oil rig?
To Fight Corrosion through a process called GALVANIC CORROSION
