Ã¢â‚¬Å“Given sufficient time, oxygen, and water, any iron mass will eventually convert entirely to rust and disintegrate. Surface rust is flaky and friable, and it provides no protection to the underlying iron, unlike the formation of patina on copper surfaces.

This phenomenon was referred to as `brokenÃ¢â‚¬Â.Ã¢â‚¬Â Wikipedia
