Formula: Rusting of Iron.
iron + oxygen + water ==> hydrated iron(III) oxide (RUST) 4Fe(s) + 3O2(g) + xH2O(l) ==> 2Fe2O3.xH2O(s)
Different Types of Coatings
The process of coating utilizes multiple films of coatings as primers and top layers. The purpose of each layer is particular; however, the layers often interact with one another (Özçam et ...
