WHAT IS RUST CORROSION? Rust is the product we get when iron goes through the corrosion process. Iron and steel are not found free in nature. Both are extracted from iron ore in a blast furnace or electro oven. Large amounts of energy are introduced into the iron ore in the extraction process, when this stored up energy is released, the iron has a tendency to corrode back to its natural form "iron oxide" or RUST. RUST IS BREAKING OUT The energy trapped in all iron and steel can be compared to a charged battery. Iron and steel can set free their accumulated energy in the form of electricity, in the same manner as an electric torch battery when connected to an electric light bulb. When the battery runs down the zinc capsule around the battery is consumed and the liquid electrolyte runs out. Exactly the same thing happens to a piece of steel. Some areas of the steel are consumed or corroded during the release of energy - THE STEEL RUSTS
