Rust is Fe2O3... 2 parts iron 3 parts oxygen

Doesn't aluminum oxidize over time? Or is that the same/different from corrosion?

Aluminum forms a passivating oxide layer almost immediately when in contact with oxygen. Corrosion occurs when some electrochemical process is initiated typically when the metal comes into contact with a salt or acid. These are two different things entirely. If anything, the oxide surface on Al is a protective layer and is actually what prevents Al from rusting.

WTF did I stumble into? Is this chemistry class here? Last time I checked I cheated by copying answers in that class.

Some people need to get a grip.

I might as well learn I just signed up for a chemistry class this morning.

I see nothing in the picture that I would be worried about...

There is also a spec of dirt near the tag with the tire on it. Don't you detail your car??

Yeh...I wouldnt even get in it if I saw rust on your striker.

These parts are made from a mixture of moon rocks and aluminum so they react differently in our earths atmosphere.

love a geek who knows his elemental table!

Its a door strike people! It makes contact with the body of the car. Just trying to warn folks. I love my Chevrolet, cut me I bleed Chevy orange. I expect rust on exhaust, rotors and other parts on the car. Just dont like rusty parts in direct contact with the car, it can corrode the body. just sayin'. You have a nice day and keep smiling now you hear?

shrinkdoc · 08-12-2012, 12:59 AM

Checked both my strikers today and no rust!!! Today I woke up depressed but after finding no rust on my strikers my depression immediatly began to lift.
