rustokerrosten
Rustokerrosten refers to the rust layers that form on iron and steel surfaces as a result of oxidation in the presence of moisture and oxygen. The process is a form of corrosion in which water facilitates the transfer of electrons between iron and oxygen, producing hydrated iron oxides and oxyhydroxides that accumulate as a porous, often flaky, scale on the metal.
Chemically, common components of rust layers include goethite (FeO(OH)), lepidocrocite (FeOOH), hematite (Fe2O3), and magnetite (Fe3O4)
Factors influencing rustokerrosten include humidity, temperature, oxygen availability, the presence of electrolytes (especially chlorides), alloy composition,
Prevention and control rely on barriers and interruption of electrochemical processes. Approaches include protective coatings, painting,
