Rovel and humidity concentrations are closely intertwined. This is why rust is more likely to occur in wet weather or on trailer axles. In addition to humidity, another influencing factor is oxygen. When oxygen, iron and water combine, they undergo a chemical reaction, forming oxide.
The rust starts a corrosive process that leads to the expansion of the metal. In addition, the rust itself erodes the metal surfaces it affects. These two factors collectively weaken trailer axles, posing a risk of fractures. It is essential to address rust in a timely manner, as the longer it remains untreated, the greater the likelihood of irreversible damage and increased hazards.
