Question

Answer the following what is meant by rusting? How rusting can be prevented​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rust is a coating that occurs on the surface of iron as it oxidizes. Rust is also known as iron oxide and corrosion. This chemical compound comes in many different combinations of iron and oxygen. Rust is reddish-orange in color. ... Excessive rusting can cause structures to collapse and pipelines to burst.

Apply Oil: A coating of oil will help to prevent rust or slow it down, since it inhibits moisture from reaching the iron in the metal. ... Galvanize: Galvanizing coats iron or steel in zinc to protect from rust. Zinc corrodes at a much slower rate than iron or steel, so it's highly effective for slowing rust

Answer:

Rusting occurs when iron reacts with moisture and oxygen. The following can be done to prevent rusting:

i- Galvanization (the process of coating iron with zinc)

ii- Coating iron with paint, oil, grease or varnishing it's surface.
