\u2611 Know the Cause of Rust Formation<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Rust is simply a form of iron oxide. You see, it takes two\nvery specific elements to produce rust: moisture and oxygen. Upon such\nexposure, the properties in metal will begin to interact with the properties in\nwater and oxygen, which in turn, causes the iron in metal to corrode. In cases\nof salt water, the corrosion rate is even faster. In order to prevent rust\nformation, you have two primary choices:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2611 Maintain a Proper Environment for Metal<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Keep your metal away from any type of water or moisture.\nThis means you should not store your valued metal commodities in areas that get\nwet, or that experience condensation or humidity. If you must store your metal\ncommodity in an environment that is prone to these conditions, you may need to\nconsider the next option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2611 Use Anti-Corrosive Metals<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Another way to prevent rust formation on your valued metal commodities\nis to simply stick with metals that are non-ferrous (no iron content), or\nmetals that retain anti-corrosive properties. Metals that are galvanized,\npowder-coated, or resistant to corrosion, such as stainless steel or weathering\nsteel, are better-suited for wet or moist environments. Common types of\nnonferrous metals include copper, aluminum, lead, nickel, zinc, and brass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
