Other metals that resist oxidation include titanium, niobium, and tantalum.īase metals are the opposite and are prone to corrosion. Noble metals are the most notable, which include gold, platinum, silver, palladium, and more.
Oxidation occurs most commonly on steel, but some metals resist oxidation. Oxidation is a chemical reaction of the surface of metal.
Rust occurs through a process called oxidation. Essentially, what this means is they don’t remove the rust but convert it from iron oxide to iron tannate. Products like the Rusty Metal Primer and Rust Reformer are considered rust converters.
