Rusting Prevention by Oil Coating
4Fe + 3O2 → 2Fe2O3 (prevented)
概要
Oil or grease coating prevents iron oxidation by creating a physical barrier that excludes water and oxygen from the iron surface. Without both oxygen and water in contact with iron, the electrochemical corrosion cells cannot form. This is one of the simplest and oldest corrosion prevention methods.
