  2. Rustproofing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rustproofing

    There are aftermarket electronic "rustproofing" technologies claimed to prevent corrosion by "pushing" electrons into the car body, to limit the combination of oxygen and iron to form rust. The loss of electrons in paint is also claimed to be the cause of “paint oxidisation” and the electronic system is also supposed to protect the paint. [ 4 ]

  3. Corrosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrosion

    Special alloys, either with low carbon content or with added carbon "getters" such as titanium and niobium (in types 321 and 347, respectively), can prevent this effect, but the latter require special heat treatment after welding to prevent the similar phenomenon of "knifeline attack". As its name implies, corrosion is limited to a very narrow ...

  4. Oxide jacking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxide_jacking

    Oxide jacking has caused concrete spalling on walls of the Herbst Pavilion at Fort Mason Center in San Francisco. The expansive force of rusting, which may be called oxide jacking or rust burst, is a phenomenon that can cause damage to structures made of stone, masonry, concrete or ceramics, and reinforced with metal components.

  5. Galvanization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanization

    Galvanization (also spelled galvanisation) [1] is the process of applying a protective zinc coating to steel or iron, to prevent rusting. The most common method is hot-dip galvanizing, in which the parts are coated by submerging them in a bath of hot, molten zinc. [citation needed]

  6. Sacrificial metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacrificial_metal

    Many steel objects are coated with a layer of zinc, which is more electronegative than iron, and thus oxidises in preference to the iron, preventing the iron from rusting. [4] Similarly, sacrificial bars of a metal such as aluminium or aluminium alloys can be attached to an oil rig or to the hull of a ship to prevent it from rusting and ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathodic_protection

    In 1996 the FTC ordered David McCready, a person that sold devices claiming to protect cars from corrosion, to pay restitution and banned the names "Rust Buster" and "Rust Evader." [ 49 ] Under section 74.01(1) (b) of the Competition Act Canada , no performance claims about a product or its effectiveness can be done unless it can be proven that ...

    It's insulated like the mug above and the kitchen-grade stainless steel is sure to stay rust-free. You also can't go wrong with one of the brand's celebrated coolers, like this soft sided tote ...

  9. Rust - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust

    Rust is an iron oxide, a usually reddish-brown oxide formed by the reaction of iron and oxygen in the catalytic presence of water or air moisture.Rust consists of hydrous iron(III) oxides (Fe 2 O 3 ·nH 2 O) and iron(III) oxide-hydroxide (FeO(OH), Fe(OH) 3), and is typically associated with the corrosion of refined iron.
