Supposedly, oil forms a protective layer around the rusting metal, not allowing water and oxygen to get to it, but it has been proven to be highly ineffective.
Washing doesn't stop rust to return.
Nails can still rust in oil because oil does not prevent the exposure of the nail to air and moisture, which are the main causes of rusting. To prevent rusting, a nail would need to be completely sealed off from air and moisture.
Yes, rust can cause a piece of metal to stop working properly by corroding and weakening it over time. Rust is a form of oxidation that occurs when iron and oxygen react with moisture in the air, leading to the formation of iron oxide. If left untreated, rust can eventually render the metal unusable.
No, silicone does not prevent rust. Rust is caused by the oxidation of iron and steel when exposed to air and moisture. To prevent rust, a protective barrier such as paint, oil, or specialized coatings that can shield the metal from moisture and air is needed.
To repair rust damage, start by sanding down the affected area to remove the rust. Next, apply a rust converter to stop further corrosion. Finally, use a primer and paint to seal and protect the metal surface.
no but any type of oil will
Vegetable oil does not cause rust. It is slightly acidic, its similar to a lubricant and it can prevent rust.
Washing doesn't stop rust to return.
more rust
the metal piping in your car will rust much quicker if you did that so no
Look for an anti rust spray.
Rust is stopped by preventing oxygen from getting to the metal. This is often done with a coat of paint. Oil and grease can prevent it. Some metals are coated with a thin coat of a metal that doesn't rust, such as galvanized steel.
no it can not
to stop rust you must stop the oxygen having acces to the metal, this can be obtained by using a non rust paint or just covering the metal with a few layers of regular paint. it is also important to aavoid letting water near to a metal with no protection as this is how rust starts to occur :)
Yes, it can block a filter or destroy an injector. Fuel lines should never have rust in them, since fuel is an oil based material that actually prevents rust. If you have rust in the fuel tank it's because condensate has been allowed to build up. You need to take care of the problem.
Yes, it will rust unless it is protected with paint, plastic or oil.
They don't remove the rust, they treat it, seal it and stop it from continuing on.
