Jigsaw Puzzle : Rusty pliers
Jigsaw Puzzles From Science Photo Library
Rusty pliers
Corrosion. Steel pliers corroded with patches of rust (orange). Steel is an alloy of iron with a small percentage of carbon and other elements. The iron in the steel reacts with oxygen when water is present to form rust (hydrated iron oxide). Rust is weaker, brittle and more porous than the steel, allowing more oxygen and water to attack the underlying metal. Steel becomes resistant to rust if chromium, nickel and other elements are included in the alloy

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a pair of rusty pliers, revealing the fascinating process of corrosion. The steel pliers have succumbed to patches of vibrant orange rust, reminding us that even the strongest materials are not immune to nature's forces. Steel, an alloy composed mainly of iron with a small percentage of carbon and other elements, undergoes a chemical reaction when exposed to oxygen in the presence of water. This reaction leads to the formation of rust, known as hydrated iron oxide. In this image, we witness how rust weakens and makes the steel more porous compared to its original state. The intricate patterns created by corrosion highlight both the beauty and fragility inherent in these metal tools. Rust acts as an invitation for further damage as it allows more oxygen and water molecules to penetrate deeper into the underlying metal. However, there is hope for preventing such deterioration. By incorporating elements like chromium and nickel into steel alloys during production, resistance against rust can be achieved. These additional components act as protective shields against corrosive agents. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this stunning display of transformation through their lens. Let this print serve as a reminder that even seemingly indestructible objects are subject to natural processes – an awe-inspiring testament to the power and complexity found within our world's chemistry.
