A maioria dos profissionais de unhas j\u00e1 experimentou ferrugem em seus utens\u00edlios de metal em algum momento de suas carreiras. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rust is a common concern since many people grew up hearing stories about how a rusty nail or other pieces of rusty metals can cause infections such as tetanus. That is a myth\u2026 rust does NOT cause tetanus or any other type of infection. Tetanus is caused by a bacterial infection. If these bacteria get deep into the skin, this can lead to a severe infection. But this can just as easily happen with a rust-free nail! Some people are infected with these bacteria by puncture wounds from thorns on plants such as rose bushes. Even so, rust is NOT a pathogen and rust is NOT toxic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is rust? The word itself comes from the German word for \u201cred\u201d. About 1200 BC iron began to replace bronze for the making of tools and weapons. The Roman historian and philosopher Pliny the Elder hypothesized that the Gods had created rust to limit the destructive power of iron weapons\u2026 which we know now is a rather silly notion. That\u2019s not surprising since the ancients had made lots of silly notions and didn\u2019t have much understanding of the world around them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A ferrugem \u00e9 causada pela a\u00e7\u00e3o conjunta da \u00e1gua e do oxig\u00eanio na oxida\u00e7\u00e3o do ferro em \u00f3xido de ferro. A ferrugem \u00e9 um tipo de \u00f3xido de ferro. A \u00e1gua \u00e9 a principal respons\u00e1vel por esse processo de oxida\u00e7\u00e3o. Outros metais tamb\u00e9m podem ser oxidados. O cobre e o bronze, por exemplo, formam p\u00e1tinas coloridas em sua superf\u00edcie devido \u00e0 oxida\u00e7\u00e3o. Quando o ferro enferruja, a ferrugem ocupa mais espa\u00e7o ou volume, o que causa expans\u00e3o. \u00c0 medida que essa expans\u00e3o continua, o metal se separa em camadas e se desprende da superf\u00edcie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This creates pitting and more flaking which leads to more rust formation of freshly exposed metal surfaces in contact with water and oxygen. This leads to the corrosion that is typically seen when metal rusts. Since steel is made mostly of iron, it is no surprise that steel nail implements are corroded by rust when exposed to water and oxygen, unless proper care is taken. That\u2019s why it is important to completely dry all metal implements and keep them in a dry location. This will also prevent the growth of pathogens since they require water to live and reproduce. Therefore, keeping metal implements clean and dry has many benefits.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
