Rusting
Corrosion
Corrosion is when a refined metal is naturally converted to a
more stable form such as its oxide, hydroxide or sulphide
state this leads to deterioration of the material.
When iron and steel come into touch with water
and oxygen (all of which are required for rusting to
occur), they rust. An example of rusting that I have
found in our house is this old motorbike’s fuel
tank.
