Rust is a coating of iron oxide that is formed by oxidation on an iron alloy. When a person sees rusting, it is a form of corrosion. Rust is found more often when there is lots of moisture around the iron or iron alloy. Iron oxide is formed when the iron alloy is mixed with oxygen. According to howstuffworks.com, ‘when a drop of water hits an iron object, two things begin to happen almost immediately. First, the water, a good electrolyte, combines with carbon dioxide in the air to form a weak carbonic acid, an even better electrolyte. As the acid is formed and the iron dissolved, some of the water will begin to break down into its component pieces -- hydrogen and oxygen. The free oxygen and dissolved iron bond into iron oxide, in the process …show more content…
The three include process related, packaging related, and environmental. Process related rust is the aspect of creating metal parts have shown to cause corrosion. Process related rust can include cold working, heat treating, machining, or the handling process. Packaging related rust is the type of packaging that metals are shipped in. Materials with acid or papers that haven’t properly been treated, have hold moisture that is harmful to the iron alloys and can start the erosion process. In some cases, when the corrosion begins in the packaging stage, the production team doesn’t know what is causing it, and they can actually make it worse by adding more paper into the box. The final type of rust is environmental rust. Environmental rust is caused when an iron alloy is exposed to weather such as rain, wind, and other types of moistures. The weather causes contamination to the metal and causes the corrosion …show more content…

Iron is naturally iron oxide and purified iron rapidly returns to a similar state when exposed to air and water. This whole process can be seen below in figure 3 – ‘The corrosion
Combined with corrosion fatigue” (“Silver”).
A wide variety of coating alloys and wrought alloys can be prepared that give the metal greater strength, castability, or resistance to corrosion or high temperatures. Some new alloys can be used as armor plate for tanks, personnel carriers, and other military vehicles.

Pure iron has a hardness that ranges from 4 to 5. It is soft and ductile. Iron can be easily magnetized at ordinary temperatures and at 790°C the magnetic property disappears. Pure iron melts at about 1535°C, boils at 2750°C, and has a specific gravity of 7.86. Chemically, iron is an active metal. When exposed to humid air, iron forms a reddish-brown, flaky, decay known as rust.

By adding up to 2%,of carbon it makes the steel tough and strong. Although it’s tough and strong, it is able to bend. To make sure that the metal doesn’t rust, it has a zinc coating on it. Iron is 26 on the periodic table,and considered an “transition metal,” meaning that it is ductile and malleable, and conduct electricity and heat. ... “Some other elements that are similar to iron are cobalt and nickel. They are the only elements known to produce a magnetic field.” Zinc is 30 on the periodic table and it is also a transition metal like iron. “The first iron used by humans is likely to have come from meteorites.” A meteorite is a meteor that survives its passage through the earth's atmosphere such that part of it strikes the ground. More than 90 percent of meteorites are of rock, while the remainder consist wholly or partly of iron and nickel. Meteors are believed to have been from the asteroid belt of Mars and

Corrosion is by far the greatest concern when it comes to aging aircraft. Corrosion is a deformity that occurs at the surface and subsurface of the structure and components of aircraft. This creates a greater need for advance techniques and inspections used to detect these deformities. Some techniques talked about in this paper that are used to detect corrosion are non-destructive testing, and different scheduled inspections.
