steel rusts fastest in salt water..
wonder why???
because salt water has sodium which can react to iron in steel.
Steel oxidises fastest
20 gauge galvannealed steel will rust faster in salt water compared to fresh water. The presence of salt in salt water accelerates the corrosion process of the metal, leading to faster rust formation.
An iron material can easily rust in the presence of air and water. For example if an iron nail is half dipped in water and the rest of the nail is open in the presence of air then the nail can easily rust.
iron oxide. the most common types are iron oxide (FeO), iron (II) oxide (Fe2O3), and iron(III) oxide (Fe3O4).
I am not sure about distance, I think it may be further but NOT SURE, But, I do know it travels WAY faster in steel, something like 10 times faster.
Steel oxidises fastest
If steel rusts faster than copper or bronze, then which of copper or bronze rusts faster than the other one?
iron
steel will rust when you wash it
it rusts
steel rusts
Iron rusts faster in theory, but it all depends on the conditions. Steel is just Iron mixed into an alloy with Carbon and (sometimes) a few other metals. There are many different grades and types of both Iron and Steel, and they all oxidize at slightly different rates. In short, oiled or finished steel will give you a fair amount of rust resistance, but it is always necessary to maintain metals to prevent oxidation.
stainless steel
Yes, steel rusts and over time it will decay.
This may be wrong but I am 90% sure that steel rusts quite easily. Obviously people do not want to buy a car that rusts quickly.

Steel wool rusts faster than regular steel due to its increased surface area and porosity. The fine strands of steel in the wool provide more sites for oxidation to occur, leading to a quicker rusting process when exposed to moisture and oxygen. Additionally, any residue or chemicals present on the steel wool can also accelerate the rusting process.
