Rusting is an example of a...?

It is chemical change. The material ( generally metal) gets oxidised when left in air and this is termed as rust.

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.

yes!!!!\n\nrather be safe than sorry.  there might be one tiny part of rust that you cant even see on it.  and one shot last up to 7 years so just do it and get it over and done with!

Slow oxidation of iron into its hydrated oxide by oxygen of the air in the presence of moisture is known as rusting.\nA flaky browncoating of hydrated iron contining variable number of water moleculesis formed on the surface of the iron.This flaky coating crumble from the surface of iron making its fresh surface available for attack of atmospheric oxygen and moisture,Rusting is therefore oxidation of iron ,\nScrews are made of galvanised iron.

well it depends on the metal the bin is made of. If its made of a metal below Zn in the electrochemical series, then the Zn is oxidised (rusts) in preference to the metal the bin is made of. This is known a sacrificial protection, as the layer of Zn is 'sacrificed'

When iron rusts it oxidizes.  New atoms are being added to the iron, so of course the mass would increase.  In a closed system, lacking oxygen, iron wouldn't rust, so the law of conservation of mass and energy still holds.  When a match burns, it's losing mass as energy in the form of heat; again the law of conservation holds.

ya, rusting is called "oxidation" because the iron reacts with the oxygen in the air to produce iron oxide:  Fe + O2 -> Fe2O3  iron oxide = rust.\n\nanyway, if you coat the iron with a film of something, the air can't get to the iron and voila, no rust!  this is also why things that rust are painted - paint does the same thing.\n\ni'm not sure how to answer the 2nd part of your question - doesn' make sense and to be honest, just doesn't jive with my experiences.  sorry!

Rust is the substance formed when iron compounds corrode in the presence of oxygen and water. It is a mixture of iron oxides and hydroxides. Rusting is a common term for corrosion, and usually corrosion of steel.\n\nIron is found naturally in the ore haematite as iron oxide, and metallic iron tends to return to a similar state when exposed to air, (hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, etc.) and water. This corrosion is due to the oxidation reaction when iron metal returns to an energetically favourable state. Energy is given off when rust forms. The process of rusting can be summarized as three basic stages: The formation of iron(II) ions from the metal; the formation of hydroxide ions; and their reaction together, with the addition of oxygen, to create rust.\n\nIron is the main component of steel and the corrosion of steel is observed more frequently, since iron is rarely used without alloying in the present day.\n\nWhen steel contacts water, an electrochemical process starts. On the surface of the metal, iron is oxidized to iron(II):\n\n    Fe → Fe2+ + 2e−\n\nThe electrons released travel to the edges of the water droplet, where there is plenty of dissolved oxygen. They reduce the oxygen and water to hydroxide ions:\n\n    4e− + O2 + 2H2O → 4OH−\n\nThe hydroxide ions react with the iron(II) ions and more dissolved oxygen to form iron oxide. The hydration is variable, however in its most general form:\n\n    Fe2+ + 2OH− → Fe(OH)2\n    4Fe(OH)2 + O2 → 2(Fe2O3.xH2O) + 2H2O\n\nHence, rust is hydrated iron(III) oxide. Corrosion tends to progress faster in seawater than fresh water due to higher concentration of sodium chloride ions, making the solution more conductive. Rusting is also accelerated in the presence of acids, but inhibited by alkalis. Rust can often be removed through electrolysis, however the base metal object can not be restored through this method.

they will rust. metal does that when it gets cold have water on it.

Others have had similar problems and solved them.  See the link.  In general, metals (especially iron and its alloys) rust when exposed to moisture in the presence of oxygen.  The rust is a loose collection of molecules that allow more moisture and oxygen to reach the base metal.  For example, you can shine aluminum but it will quickly dull with oxidation.  The aluminum corrosion however forms a tenacious film that protect the metal from additional corrosion.  I heard that copper (flashing?) on a rooftop can cause aluminum gutters to corode.  Various alloys of iron (steel) including heat treatments may impart various corrosion properties, however, chrome is usually added to form stainless steels that best resists rusting.  Silicon steel may have to be protected.  Good luck.

Well my man fatigue limit cannot tend to infinity... you joking??????? anyways non ferrous metals have higher fatigue limit coz no other metal corrodes as fast as iron.... got it?

I think this may help you:\nhttp://www.counteractrust.com/types%20of%20corrosion.htm\n\nor this:\nhttp://www.eaa1000.av.org/technicl/corrosion/types.htm\n\nThere are a great many "types of corrosion" but generally for any given application there will be only a few types that are relevant.

Go to Home Depot and buy an all purpose rust remover. I used it on a dissecting knife and it worked beautifully.

In what context\nIf we knew more about the type of runtime error then maybe we could help out a little bit more

Corrosion is the result of metal oxidizing. When metal comes in touch with air, the water vapor and oxygen content of the atmosphere react with the metal to cause rusting/corrosion. \n\nIf you were to cover the metal with a non-water based paint, like in automobiles, this process is then reduced, in fact it is stopped for sometime -till the time the paint and its base coats remain intact.
