Electrolysis, and cast iron.

(1/1)

Electrolysis, and cast iron.
I been trawling the net for weeks, and totally confused as to whether electrolysis will harm/damage cast iron.
Has anyone tried it? if so what's your thoughts on it?
Thanks

I've used electrolysis successfully on cast iron several times in the past, but now I'm a convert to using Citric Acid for rust removal as it just more convenient  not needing power supplies etc, and the liquid can safely be poured down the drain.

NormanV:
I agree with Andrew about rust removal. Citric acid does a good job, it is cheap and easy. Why bother with all those other chemicals and electrolysis?

BITREV8XL:
Thanks for the replies
I've already got a 45 gallon tank set up, that I've used for steel parts before, and I can leave parts in for hours to clean it's self
Cheers
