PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!!!!! HELP MEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! I need to know how can i prevent steel from rusting when it is exposed to water or salt water or vinegar. PLEASE TELL ME A LOT OF WAYS THAT I COULD PREVENT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Coat it in molten plastic, or use stainlessteel
rust is oxidation . remove contact with O2 , it wont rust . you can place it in a oxygen free atmosphere , you could plate it with zinc or chrome , you can use a lead based paint .
steel that will not rust is called Stainless Steel. Exposure to oxygen causes rust. In stainless steel is heated and all the oxygen burnt out of it. I would go with a high grade (there are multiple grades) of stainless steel
