The "rust" converter concept does exist, but there is another possibility. In thermal processing of metal there is a process called blackening. This is a high temperature process used on (in my specific case) steel. The process promotes the "rusting" of the metal. The oxidizing of iron ini...
Also hurting production are shortages of plastics for dashboards, knobs, etc. Petroleum cutbacks have affected the supply of synthetic fabrics for upholstery, transmission fluids, antifreeze, and roof vinyl. Steel Prior to the Arab oil embargo, U.S. steel mills were running at maximum capacity....
