उत्तर
The iron pillar at Qutab Minar has not rusted for 1600 years because of the following reasons:
- The high purity and great mass of iron may have created a temperature stabilizer thus reducing the condensation of moisture on it.
- The protective scale or passive iron coating formation on the surface, better forge welding and absence of impurities in iron – also may have dissuaded corrosion.
