Why steel rusts — and what to do about it
Rust is something which affects many things in our lives, from our cars and boats to guns, camping gear and sporting equipment. Anywhere you find steel, you’ll eventually find rust. But what is it about steel that makes it vulnerable to rust?
The basic definition of steel is that it is iron alloyed with carbon through smelting, usually containing less than 2% carbon and less than 1% other components such as silicon, sulfur, oxygen or phosphorus. It’s this high proportion of iron which makes it incredibly strong as well as vulnerable to rust. Rust essentially is the iron undergoing the oxidization process, something that happens only when steel is exposed to oxygen and moisture.
Corrosion inhibitors and rust inhibitor sprays are key to providing a durable protective coating to steel, preventing the oxidization process from happening in the first place. But if your metal goods and equipment are already suffering from rust, there is no reason to replace them unless they have deteriorated beyond repair. Using an all-in-one lubricating, protective long-term liquid rust inhibitor, you can stop rust in its tracks and protect your vulnerable items.
