Iron and unalloyed or low-alloy steels are the predominant metallic structural materials governing technology and by far out-weighing all other structural metals. Loss of iron and steel by corrosion, and costs of protecting iron and steel against corrosion by coatings, lacquers, and varnishes therefore have outstanding economic importance. Since corrosion of iron and steel usually is rusting, a closer look at the mechanism of iron reacting with oxygen dissolved in approximately neutral solutions appears appropriate.
