  2. Wet storage stain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet_storage_stain

    Wet storage stain, more commonly known as white rust or white corrosion, is a type of zinc corrosion.It is called wet storage stain because it occurs when a fresh zinc surface is stored in a wet environment with limited oxygen and carbon dioxide sources; the restriction in air is usually due to the items being stacked on one another or otherwise stored in close quarters.

  3. Rust - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust

    Rust is a general name for a complex of oxides and hydroxides of iron, [4] which occur when iron or some alloys that contain iron are exposed to oxygen and moisture for a long period of time. Over time, the oxygen combines with the metal, forming new compounds collectively called rust, in a process called rusting.

    Consequently some of the equivalent salts have the same crystal structure, [57] and in other circumstances where ionic radius is a determining factor, the chemistry of zinc has much in common with that of magnesium. [51] Compared to the transition metals, zinc tends to form bonds with a greater degree of covalency.

  5. Galvanic corrosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_corrosion

    A common example of galvanic corrosion occurs in galvanized iron, a sheet of iron or steel covered with a zinc coating. Even when the protective zinc coating is broken, the underlying steel is not attacked. Instead, the zinc is corroded because it is less "noble". Only after it has been consumed can rusting of the base metal occur.

  6. Corrosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrosion

    When corrosion does occur, it is almost always a simple dissolution of the material or chemical reaction, rather than an electrochemical process. A common example of corrosion protection in ceramics is the lime added to soda–lime glass to reduce its solubility in water; though it is not nearly as soluble as pure sodium silicate , normal glass ...

  7. You Can Use Vinegar and Baking Soda To Remove Rust - AOL

    Common mistakes people make when removing rust include using chemicals that are too harsh, like hydrochloric acid and chlorine bleach, and not thoroughly cleaning and drying the metal surface ...

  8. Rust converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust_converter

    Rust converters are chemical solutions or primers that can be applied directly to an iron or iron alloy surface to convert iron oxides into a protective chemical barrier. These compounds interact with iron oxides, especially iron(III) oxide , converting them into an adherent black layer ( black oxide ) that is more resistant to moisture and ...

    Zinc is better absorbed from animal-based foods than plant-based, as the phytates found in plants can bind zinc and reduce its absorption,” says Baker. So, vegetarians and vegans can be at ...
