Rust Corrosion on Metal - Detailed Macro Photography #3353548 (License: Personal Use)

This high-detail macro shot captures the complex topography of advanced rust corrosion on a ferrous metal component, showing stratified layers of hydrated iron oxides (Fe₂O₃·nH₂O), localized pitting, and areas where the underlying metal is exposed. The interplay of orange, brown, and dark gray tones highlights varying oxidation stages and environmental exposure history.

Used in educational materials on metallurgy, corrosion engineering, industrial maintenance guides, or artistic photography sites focusing on decay aesthetics; targets users researching rust prevention, material degradation, or abstract texture inspiration.
