This prevents the metal below from coming into contact with air containing oxygen. Unlike rust, which can flake off the surface of iron and steel objects, the layer of aluminium oxide does not flake off.
Rusting Rusting is an oxidation reaction. However, the process is much slower because the exposure to the moisture in the air is decreased. If you are in a humid area, you may consider investing in a dehumidifier. This machine also decreases the moisture in the air, reducing your chances of rust forming. Things which are normally stored outside, like bicycles and lawn mowers, can be covered or moved indoors. There are products which will allow you to keep moisture from ruining your tools and other things.
Silica gel packs help to dry out the air in small places like drawers or tool boxes. Keeping a couple of these packs in your tool chest will ensure your tools are not susceptible to rust.
Also, when items which are made of iron or steel become wet, dry them off as soon as possible. This keeps the oxidation process to a minimum.
You can prevent rust in this manner. Julie Richards is a freelance writer from Ohio.

Siddman MC Sep 11, Today's wonder of the day was awesome! I never knew that water with chloride mixed with iron would make green rust!

Wonderopolis Sep 11, Thank you for your positive words. Tomorrow I have a 2 hour chemo treatment and I will definitely be on here! I have been in the hospital for 2 months and found out about my cancer 1 week ago.
I have had 3 treatments so far and will continue to have a treatment daily. The sad thing is that I'm alone most of the time.
My family lives in Maine but I am at a hospital in Massachusetts. Do you have any wonders about cancer? Rust is metal's worst enemey. I have seen plenty of rusted cars, bridges, and other forgotten things with metal in it. I have learned so very much today like that there is a material that does not rust for that reason. Also I have learned that air and water could make rust worse together than just by themselves.
I have also learned you can paint over rust. I can't see how you can paint over rust without it growing back. Does it work geting rid of rust if a car is about to fall apart?
I think tomorrow's wonder is about computers in general or the franchise of Apple. Grace Sep 11, This video was kind of gross even though it's just rust.

So you did a great job, good work. Hi Wonderopolis! My name is Rachel. I am 10 years old and I am currently fighting cancer. I really love coming to this website while I am in chemo.
Today my tutor came to the hospital and we talked about earth sciences and rust. He showed me today's wonder and I got so excited. You guys are the ones who encourage me to keep on fighting. Thank you. I think tomorrow's wonder will be about a new type of chemo for cancer fighters.
Wow that video was mind blowing!!!!!!!!!!! Learned many things like This can sometimes be seen on rebar used in underwater pillars. Rust is usually used to refer to a very common, reddish-brown compound called iron oxide Fe2O3. Iron oxide is formed when iron and oxygen react in the presence of water or moisture in the air.
I also learned from this web and wonder today that cars can rust a lot? Well I didn't know. And how many iPhones have been made and also maybe about Steve jobs and maybe a little video on him and how he discovered apple in his garage with two friends. Thanks wonderopolis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Smith's Class Sep 11, Dear Wonderopolis, Thank you for the fabulous video of the car rusting.
