Corrosion of iron is a serious problem. Every year, a large amount of money is spent to replace the rusted iron structure. But corrosion of all metals is not troublesome. Sometimes, corrosion of metals is an advantage because it prevent the metal underneath from further damage. Aluminium is highly resistant to corrosion due to the formation of a thin impervious (non-penetrable) layer of aluminium oxide (Al2O3) which does not allow moist air to come in contact with the metal and prevents the metal underneath from further damage.
Which metals do not corrode?
