Jernoksidasjon
Jernoksidasjon, commonly known as rust, is a natural process that occurs when iron or its alloys, like steel, are exposed to oxygen and moisture. This chemical reaction results in the formation of iron oxides, typically reddish-brown in color. The process is a form of corrosion, where the metal deteriorates over time.
The primary cause of jernoksidasjon is electrochemical. Iron acts as an anode, losing electrons, while oxygen
Factors that accelerate jernoksidasjon include the presence of electrolytes such as salt, which increase the conductivity
Jernoksidasjon is a significant concern in many industries, affecting the structural integrity of bridges, buildings, vehicles,
