Corrosion rusting

The overall reaction for the corrosion (rusting) of iron by oxygen is... 

The 2000 series are alloys of copper and aluminum. They are very strong, are corrosion (rust) resistant, and can be machined, or worked with, very easily. Some applications of 2000 series aluminum alloys are in truck paneling and structural parts of aircraft. 

Other popular alloys of beryllium are those with copper metal. Copper-beryllium alloys contain about 2 percent beryllium. They conduct heat and electricity almost as well as pure copper but are stronger, harder, and more resistant to fatigue (wearing out) and corrosion (rusting). These alloys are used in circuit boards, radar, computers, home appliances, aerospace applications, automatic systems in factories, automobiles, aircraft landing systems, oil and gas drilling equipment, and heavy machinery. 

Chromium is a fairly active metal. It does not react with water, but reacts with most acids. It combines with oxygen at room temperature to form chromium oxide (Cr203). Chromium oxide forms a thin layer on the surface of the metal, protecting it from further corrosion (rusting). 

The United States has to import all the cobalt it uses. One of the most important applications of cobalt is in the production of superalloys. These superalloys consist primarily of iron, cobalt, or nickel, with small amounts of other metals, such as chromium, tungsten, aluminum, and titanium. Superalloys are resistant to corrosion (rusting) and retain their properties at high temperatures. Superalloys are used in jet engine parts and gas turbines.

A number of copper alloys have been developed for special purposes. For example, gun metal is an alloy used to make guns. It contains about 90 percent copper and 10 percent tin. Monel metal is an alloy of nickel and copper that is resistant to corrosion (rusting). Coinage metal is a copper alloy from which U.S. coins are made. 

Magnesium is commonly alloyed with other metals. Magnesium and aluminum, for instance, are two metals that combine to form alloys that are very strong and resistant to corrosion (rust). But they weigh much less than steel alloys with similar properties. 

Up to 90 percent of all manganese produced is made into steel alloys. An alloy is made by melting and mixing two or more metals. The mixture has properties different from those of the individual metals. The addition of manganese to steel makes the final product hard, as well as resistant to corrosion (rusting) and mechanical shock. 

Reports of the new element spread through Europe. Scientists were fascinated by its physical properties. It was not only beautiful, but resistant to corrosion (rusting). Many people saw that it could be used in jewelry and art objects, as with gold and silver. Demand for the metal began to grow, leading to what was then called the Platinum Age in Spain. ... 

Ruthenium can also be alloyed with other metals. It is sometimes added to titanium to make that metal more resistant to corrosion (rusting). Only 0.1 percent of mthenium in titanium makes titanium 100 times more corrosion resistant. 

There are relatively few commercial uses for scandium or its compounds. It is sometimes used to make alloys for special purposes. Scandium metal is lighter than most other metals. It is also resistant to corrosion (rusting) and has a high melting point. These properties make scandium alloys especially desirable for use in sporting equipment, such as baseball bats, lacrosse sticks, and bicycle frames. 

By far the most important use of titanium is in making alloys. The metal is most commonly added to steel. It adds strength to the steel and makes it more resistant to corrosion (rusting). Titanium also has another advantage in alloys. Its density is less than half that of steel. So a steel alloy containing titanium weighs less, pound-for-pound, than does the pure steel alloy. 

Yttrium alloys have some special uses as well. These alloys tend to be hard, resistant to wear, and resistant to corrosion (rusting). They are used in cutting tools, seals, bearings, and jet engine coatings. 

Zirconium is a fairly inactive element. When exposed to air, it reacts with oxygen to form a thin film of zirconium oxide (Zr02). This film protects the metal from further corrosion (rusting). Zirconium does not react with most cold acids or with water. It does react with some acids that are very hot, however. 

Corrosion (rusted iron shown here) has enormous adverse economic consequences. Its prevention requires an understanding of the fundamental underlying chemical processes. 

The ultimate evaluation of the corrosion protection afforded by a particular lubricant formulation is the Sequence IID engine test. This test simulates short trips in winter conditions. Such trips promote corrosion/rust on the engine components due to water condensation in the engine. The test lasts for 32 h, after which a mst rating is determined.
