Question
Name five methods of preventing rusting of iron.
Solution
Five methods of preventing rusting of iron are:
- By polishing the surface of iron with paint
- By applying oil or grease on the surface of iron
- By coating a thin layer of zinc on the iron metal by the process called galvanisation
- By coating other metals like tin coating and chromium coating
- By alloying with other metals (chromium and nickel) to form stainless steel, which does not corrode
