I'd like to wade in here uninvited. My life has been around adhesives and corrosion. In order to have corrosion you have to have H2O + O2 + Cl and if you have a meteorite in a vacuum you will not have corrosion. The Ionic vapor phase happens when moisture can reach an unstable substrate. The rusting is the attempt of the substrate to return to its original state.
Rusting under a coating is common when you have a coating that has micro-porosity and no vapor phase inhibitor in the formula of the coating. Encapsulated moisture with a bit of oxygen makes a great environment for ionic exchange. = rust Bill Mason "rusty" [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kevin Forbes Sent: Friday, October 07, 2005 6:35 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Subject: RE: [meteorite-list] POLL: rustiest most unstable known Hi Harlan, Dronino, It came supposedly protected, coated in nail polish, withtin a few days began corroding. A month later, it was lifting the nail polish. It is now sitting in a jar of caustic and methylated spirits, in an attempt at removing its hydroscopic properties. One piece I got, I coated in beeswax immediately. It has not yet showed any corrosion, but probably will. Sweaty finger prints on Gibeon are also a problem, one bit needs sanding and re-polishing.
