Iron is the only metal that can rust.
The usual term for the destruction of a metal by oxidation is corrosion, and 'rust' or 'rusting' is the term for corrosion specific to iron and its compounds.
Iron has the ability to rust due to a chemical reaction with oxygen and water in the presence of impurities like salts. This reaction forms iron oxide (rust) on the surface of the iron, which weakens the metal over time.
Rust itself does not crumble easily, but it can weaken the metal it forms on, causing it to break or crumble if the corrosion is severe. The rate of rust formation and its ability to cause crumbling depend on factors such as the type of metal, the environment, and the extent of corrosion. Proper maintenance and protective measures can help prevent rust-related damage.
Rust is formed when oxygen combines with metal that is untreated with items that keep the metal looking young and new.
gold plaitum silver brass and some type of steel are very rust resistant
Metal turns into rust when exposed to oxygen and moisture over time, a process known as oxidation. The oxygen in the air reacts with the metal's atoms to form a new compound, which appears as reddish-brown iron oxide, or rust. This process can be sped up by increasing the metal's exposure to water and oxygen.
no. it is chemical i think

Rusting is a chemical process, so no if its lacking it cannot be chemical its physical
The ability of metals to rust is a chemical property, not a physical property. Rusting occurs when metals react with oxygen and water in the environment to form iron oxides. This process involves a chemical change in the metal's composition, not just a physical change in its form.
Yes, WD-40 can effectively dissolve rust due to its ability to penetrate and loosen the bonds of rusted metal surfaces.
The best rust solution for metal is a rust converter or rust inhibitor that can stop the rusting process and protect the metal from further corrosion.
No, ethanol does not prevent rust. In fact, ethanol may accelerate rust formation due to its ability to hold moisture against metal surfaces. It is recommended to use specialized rust prevention products or coatings for protecting metal surfaces from rust.
ability to rust is a chemical property
No, rust is the formation of a layer of a metal oxide on the surface of a metal.
Rust flakes away from metal because its a layer of loose material. The metal underneath is no longer protected and will begin to rust also.
yes orange jucie does rust metal.
acid rain is what most commonly makes metal rust
