Electrical Resistivity of Rust vs. other materials
Electrical Resistivity of Rust vs. other materials
(OP)
I'm looking for information on electrical properties of iron oxide (FeO3) relative to other materials (metal and nonmetals), such as silica, nickel, steel, etc... Does anyone know where I may find such information?

There is an online handbook from NIST on physical properties. For non-metals the product forms will be critical. Rust on a surface will have much different properties from a full density iron oxide ceramic.

Our electrochemical group did a lot of work on the conductivity/resistivity of iron oxides but was mainly with various forms of Fe3O4 for use as electrodes in electrochemical processes. I don't recall any work with plain rust other than we wanted to start with zero-valent iron when we used iron as the anode in electrochemical cells cells.

I would bet that you can find data on weathering steels (Corten) that have to do with measurements of surface rust.
