ruostumis
Ruostuminen is the Finnish word for rusting. It refers to the oxidation of iron or its alloys, such as steel, which results in the formation of reddish-brown flakes or powder. This process occurs when iron is exposed to oxygen and moisture.
The chemical reaction involved in rusting is complex but can be simplified as the formation of hydrated
Factors that accelerate ruostuminen include the presence of electrolytes like salt, increased temperature, and surface irregularities
Preventing ruostuminen typically involves creating a barrier between the iron and the environment. This can be
