Rust results from a reaction called oxidation, in which iron reacts with water and oxygen to form hydrated iron (III) oxide.

In a bold leap toward more sustainable energy storage, researchers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute have discovered a ...

So we'll dip the car and we'll look for any reaction ... because the acid does attack the metal slightly. Then it'll be pressure washed until all of the rust is removed. Once all the rust is ...

Luckily, a spot of rust is not a death sentence for your metal gear. Rust removers use a simple chemical reaction to break down rust, separating it from the surface of metal so you can wipe it away.

If you’ve ever pulled an old tool, a garden rake, or even a beloved cast-iron pan out of storage only to find it covered in rust, ... Continue Reading → ...

Salt makes rust worse as salt water is a better conductor of electricity, so the electrolysis reaction that causes corrosion takes place much faster. Other metals such as aluminium are less ...
