What do you think will make a metal be more rusted? Is it lemon or salt water?

Salt water. We use to clean rust off metal using kool-aid type mix because of the acid in it. Eats the rust away.

Rust is an oxygenation reaction- \nBleach is a strong oxidizing agent, and thus will cause rust\nPowder bleach won't do anything in the absence of at least some water, because there is no medium for the reaction to occure\nAbsolutely pure water without dissolved oxygen will not speed rust, but it always has dissoved oxygen, and thus acts as a faster medium than air to speed rust\nMineral lime in water is a fast ruster\nVinegar is a reducing agent, and will prevent rust, but it'll eat the iron away.

you could try  a fine steelwool, i would start with 0000 and work your way up to larger grades as needed but this will remove the blueing. if the pitting is only minor i would use a soft scotchbrite pad and a light oil such as 3 in 1 oil . rub lightly, this should remove the rust with minamal damage to the finish,remove the oil with a soapy rag ,rinse with a clean rag ,let dry then touch up with a blueing pen or luiquid blue and a cotton swuab.

Bound's hubby here:\n\nThis is from over 30 years experience... DON'T put any type of chemical on your rifle's metal... you do not know how the chemical will react with the finish or the metal. \n\nThe time proven method of removing light rust from gun metal is to use OOO steel wool with gun oil. Put a light coat of oil on the rusted metal part and lightly rub the steel wool over the affected oiled area. Be patient, do not apply a lot of pressure. In about 10-15 minutes the rust will be removed and if the metal is blued there might be a slight lightening of the blued finish. Generally, lightening of the finish would mean either you rubbed too hard or you did not have enough oil on the metal. You can use the steel wool and oil method successfully without affecting your gun's finish. \n\nGood luck.

water and oxygen are 2 things which cause rusting..in this case there is lots of water and lots of oxygen in the boiling water plus there is the catalyst of heat..\n\nbut by painting it with aluminium paint the surface of alumnium reacts to form an unreactive strong layer of AL2O3 this protects alumninium from furtherly rusting and the iron or steel behind the aluminium>>>plus they usually do this instead of using completely aluminium pipes because its more economic to use steel and paint with aluminium instead of making aluminium pipes plus steel is much stronger

ferric oxide, or rust, is the product

a salt water mix. mix it in a spray bottle. should turn it pretty quick depending on how much salt you use.

Put a metal which has higher activity than Silver

if iron comes into contact with moisture and air, it starts to rust.The surface of iron is painted because it prevents iron from coming into contact with air and moisture.

The company I work for does Salt Spray Analysis. it's used to find out how well a coating holds up under controlled conditions. Salt water is very corrosive to most metals and is a good medium for testing for corrosion.\n\nBasically, a part that has a coating (paint, Anodize, Nitride, Black Oxide,...) is placed in a sealed tank. The tank sprays water with a particuar amount of salt in it into the chamber. The parts are checked every hour, 2 hours, 6 hours...as directed by the requirements. As soon as ANY rust is found, the testing stops and the amount of time it took for the rust to show is recorded. 300 hours is very good for any type of paint.

Hard to say without a picture or to see the process. Gas pressure? Wind? Contaminants in the metal? Wrong gas mixture?\nHere's a couple of links that may help..

No i've got a metal screw holding my lower orbit together(eye socket)it's made out of titanium or something similar so it wont rust.

You may be referring to a sacrificial anode?\n\nSometimes, in order to prevent something from rusting (like a metal water pipe or the hull of a ship), you sacrifice a more reactive metal to corrode first.\nFor example, if you wanted to protect an Iron water pipe from rusting, you could electrically conect it to a "sacrifical" piece of Magnesium (a more reactive metal)m this way, the Mg will corrose first, keeping the Iron safe.\n\nEdit:\nYou wouldnt mix the sacrifical metal in with the metal your trying to protect, then you'll just get an object with a bunch of holes in it (where the other metal was eaten away).  You would electrically connect the sacrifical electrode to the other metal with a wire or something of that sort, then as the sacrificial electrode is corroded away, the other metal stays perfectly intact.\nI think in real life Magnesium is a very common metal to use since it is so high up in the reactivity series and not insanely expensive. Silver doesnt corrose very much at all, it wouldnt work as a sacrifical electrode, not would it need one very badly.

Rust is made of Iron (III) Oxide, not pure iron.  As for its crystal structure, I'm not completely sure.

What you are really asking, is what chemicals in water can corrode Chromium and Vanadium, since that is what makes stainless steels 'stainless'.\n\nBasically, anything that will form free radicals can react with these metals.  Common culprits include Chlorides, Flourides, and the like,  but also such things as (bi)carbonates and nitrates can form weak acids that can attack Cr and Va.

mrcury...cause mercury has more specific gravity than a steel and water, meaning to say mercury will settle down and steel will float on it ...i think water has 1 s.g and mercury has 13.6 s.g. not sure bout steel...

I bet it weighs alot more than aluminum, takes more maintenance, and is prone to rusting.
