	Good answer. 'Rusting' is a term usually applied only to irons and steels. Other metals 'corrode'. 'Reduction' takes place simultaneously with 'oxidation'. __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856
