Question

corrosion of iron is a serious problem. Every year an enormous amount of money is spent to replace damaged iron. suggest 3 measures to overcome this problem

Answer 1

Hey friend,

We know that corrosion is the process in which iron gets oxidized slowly to form its oxide.

It is a natural process we can't stop completely but we can reduce it.

1) By Coating a metal surface with paint, oils or enamel provides a barrier between the metal and the moisture in the environment.

2) coating a metal surface with another metal that is more likely to be oxidized is referred. Ex : galvanisation

3) cathodic protection :

Answer 2

The rusting of iron can be prevented by painting, oiling, greasing, galvanising, chrome-plating, anodising or making alloys. The learner will be able to know how to escape from the economic loss of metallic objects by keeping them corrosion resistan
