उत्तर
This statement is True.
Explanation:
While ships are painted to protect them from the harsh marine environment, they can still suffer damage. The paint acts as a protective layer against corrosion caused by water, salt and marine organisms, but over time, the paint can wear off due to factors like weathering, abrasion and biofouling. Therefore, despite being painted, ships may still experience damage to their hulls and other parts.

What is rust?
| A process of forming a thick oxide of aluminium when aluminium is exposed to air. This coat makes it resistant to corrosion. Resistance can be improved by making a layer of oxide thinker. In this technique, the aluminium article is the anode, and the electrolyte is sulphuric acid. The anode reaction results in the formation of a black-coloured film of aluminium oxide on the anode. By putting appropriate dyes in the electrolytic solution, both coloured surface with the decorative finish is achieved. Kitchen articles like anodised such as pressure cookers, pans and frames of sliding windows are applications of this technique. |

- How can we make aluminium articles made resistant to corrosion?
- Name the technique used to coat the aluminium articles.
