Why does stainless steel not rust?
All metals react with oxygen in the atmosphere to form an oxide film on the surface. Unfortunately, the iron oxide formed on ordinary carbon steel continues to oxidize, causing the rust to expand and eventually form pores. The carbon steel surface can be ensured by electroplating with paint or oxidation resistant metals (e.g., zinc, nickel, […]
