Wonder What's Next? Get a friend or family member to give you a hand with one or more of the following fun activities: What examples of rust can you find in the world around you? You might be surprised if you take the time to look. Check out your house, especially the garage and any metal objects you might find in the backyard. If you have one, use a camera to document the examples of rust that you find. Try to track the progress of a sample of rust over time. For example, if you find rust on an old fence, take a picture today and then plan to take additional pictures over the coming weeks, months, and years.
Can you see in your photographs how the rust has progressed? Make sure a friend or family member helps you, and check that you have all the supplies to you need before you get started. What happens?
Discuss the science behind your observations with your friend or family member. No rusted objects around your home? No problem! Take a look at these rust photographs. Many people think rust can actually be quite beautiful. What do you think? Discuss with a friend or family member. Did you get it? Test your knowledge. What are you wondering?

Join the Discussion. TacoBoi Feb 5, I've seen a lot of rusty trains before and this article interested me. Feb 5, That's cool, TacoBoi! We're glad you liked the Wonder. Cingiser Class Jan 15, What happens to the hydrogen from the water H20 after the chemical reaction forms iron oxide?
Jan 15, That's a great question for a Wonder Journey, Cingiser Class! Let us know what you learn! Dahlia Oct 6, This was helpful, but im writing a science paper and I need the name of the author. And it doesnt give it. Kinda of a rip off. Oct 15, Sep 17, Sep 18, Hi Wonder Friend! Avery Davis Sep 22, Feb 15, Lillian McCulloch Dec 18, Jan 2, Sanai Nov 28, Dec 4, Jack Young Jul 25, Jul 26, Valentyna Vorobyova Oct 26, My professor wont accept this as a source without an author or publication date and its the best source I can find.
Please help! Oct 27, Jax parker Sep 19, Sep 20, By the way can i get the Auther name of this website?. Sep 16, We're glad we could help, casey! You may use Wonderopolis as the author. Desiree Feb 19, Feb 21, WonderWoman13 Jan 3, I need this for a project is there any thing on oxygen's relation to earth and me thanks i love you website so original.
Jan 4, Sep 3, Hi, dude this info is really super. Does modern cars and bike manufacturers perform galvanization in their product? Wonderopolis Mar 2, Wonderopolis May 21, That's great you know how things rust, Simon. Chance May 17, I would like to recommend that a video is made of what the HQ of Wonderopolis.
Best wishes, Chance. Wonderopolis May 18, Snoopsta Dec 5, How long does it take for a car to rust completely?!?!?!?!?!?!???????????? Wonderopolis Dec 6, Sophia Dec 5, Wow awesome video! And very neat info too. Wonderopolis Dec 5, Wonder Friend M Dec 4, Wonderopolis Nov 7, Olivia D. Oct 9, Wonderopolis Oct 10, Wonderopolis Sep 19, Wonderopolis Sep 13, Great job, Eric!
Ethan B Sep 12, Wonderopolis Sep 12, We like your enthusiasm, Ethan B! Thanks for sharing your smile with us today! Hi there, Sally! Thanks for sending a smile our way! Hello Wonderopolis! Our reading class really enjoyed learning all about "rust" and why things rust!
Some of the things that we learned are: 1. Rust is bad for everything. Paint helps prevent rust. Salt can make cars rust, which is why in the winter time, the salt that is used on the highways needs to be washed off of our cars.
Galvanization helps protect objects from rusting. We are still wondering How long does it take for something to rust? Is every car affected by rust? Thanks but mean is it a car, wheelbarrow, etc.? What was that a picture of, that looked like it was just an orange blob? Bauxite is most commonly found in sub-tropical places like Africa, the West Indies, South America, and Australia — although there are some small deposits in other places like Europe.
This bauxite is then processed into aluminum oxide, which just consists of atoms of aluminum and oxygen bonded together. The aluminum oxide then has an electrical current run through it, which separates the different components from each other. Oxygen bubbles form at one end, and pure molten aluminum droplets collect at the other end. About tons of bauxite is processed into 2 tons of aluminum oxide, which creates 1 ton of pure aluminum.
Aluminum corrodes much more slowly than other metals like iron. Normally, when water comes into contact with metal it encourages the metal to give up its electrons even faster to the oxygen around it. Aluminum has a special reaction to water though. When water touches aluminum, the aluminum and the oxygen atoms contained in the metal — not the oxygen in the air surrounding it move further apart from each other.
Rust is a naturally occurring chemical reaction. There are many ways you can prevent your metals from rusting, such as metal paints and coatings , sacrificial barriers, barrier films as well as numerous anti-rust solutions and tin plating.
Each method utilizes different compounds and materials to create a protective barrier between the metal and the elements that cause rust and corrosion. Our trained staff can help you choose the best metal for your next project. Contact us today for all of your steel needs.
What is Rust? What is Corrosion? What is Reduction? Vigorously swirl the bottle to mix the contents. Once the salt has dissolved, spray the solution over the object to coat it partially or completely, depending on the desired effect. The peroxide should begin to bubble on contact with the metal, and rust will start forming immediately. Let the object air-dry in the sun for another five minutes or longer, depending on the size of the object.
A single application of the solution should produce a subtle rusted patina on your metal object. For a deeper and more distinct patina , though, repeat the application of this rusting solution up to four more times. Finally, spray a thin coating of clear acrylic sealer to the dry rusted object. It will set the rust and preserve the aged appearance for years to come while providing an acrylic barrier that keeps it from inadvertently staining any other metal or wood with which it comes into contact in the future.
