2. 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 ...

3. Primer (paint) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primer_(paint)

   Primers are used on metal hydroxides/oxides to improve the surface condition and to encourage bonding. Without a primer, paint applied to metals are prone to peeling. [6] Special kinds of primer (rust-converters) can be used to chemically convert rust to the solid metal salts. [7] This process is not recommended for structural steel.

4. Lead (II,IV) oxide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead(II,IV)_oxide

   Lead(II,IV) oxide, also called red lead or minium, is the inorganic compound with the formula Pb 3 O 4. A bright red or orange solid, it is used as pigment, in the manufacture of batteries, and rustproof primer paints. It is an example of a mixed valence compound, being composed of both Pb(II) and Pb(IV) in the ratio of two to one. [2]

5. Iron(III) oxide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron(III)_oxide

   Iron(III) oxide or ferric oxide is the inorganic compound with the formula Fe 2 O 3. It occurs in nature as the mineral hematite , which serves as the primary source of iron for the steel industry. It is also known as red iron oxide , especially when used in pigments .

6. Rustproofing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rustproofing

   Petroleum-based rust-inhibitors provide several benefits, including the ability to creep over metal, covering missed areas. [citation needed] Additionally, a petroleum, solvent-free rust inhibitor remains on the metal surface, sealing it from rust-accelerating water and oxygen. Other benefits of petroleum-based rust protection include the self ...

7. Bluing (steel) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluing_(steel)

   In comparison, rust, the red oxide of iron (Fe 2 O 3), undergoes an extremely large volume change upon hydration; as a result, the oxide easily flakes off, causing the typical reddish rusting away of iron. Black oxide provides minimal protection against corrosion, unless also treated with a water-displacing oil to reduce wetting and galvanic ...
