    It's important to have good conductivity between the negative wire and the rusty item. The video shows bubbles on the hook but not many on the wrench probably because the rust on the wrench is preventing good conductivity with the hook. To improve the process scrape to bare metal where the negative current needs to flow. Also, on rusty pieces with two parts, like the wrench body and the movable jaw, current needs to flow to the movable jaw and may be inhibited by rust between the pieces. Either position a second negative wire or scrape some rust off to help improve conductivity between all the parts of the rusty item. Thanks for filming this!

    A very kind gentleman heard about me derusting tools and left a massive cardboard box filled with a solid mass of rust. He didn't say who he was, but left a note saying he moved house over a year ago and had all his hand tools and drill bits in another cardboard box under his workbench. His son painted the garage where these tools were and to air it out he left a window above the workbench open. It stayed that way for close to a year and every time it rained it would trickle down a couple of power cables which ran from near the window and laid across this box. Everything in that box literally rusted together into one lump of tools and rust. I used a hammer to break them apart and over 2 weeks I derusted them in a large plastic bath. Everything ended up completely free of rust and had a deep black sheen to them. Everything which was originally chromed lost their shine and I assume the chrome as well. Here I am 7 years further on and every item is still rust free. Oh yes, after derusting I sprayed them with a coat of WD40. Sidenote, After cleaning everything I discovered 2 antique American square shaped shifters dated 1920. There was also a set square covered in paint and rust, it finished up minus both the paint and the rust. I'm positive there was no way they would have turned out looking so good if I hadn't used electrolysis.

    I searched 'Rust Removal by Electrolysis' on TH-cam, and this video popped up as the first one for me, so I followed this tutorial to make the electrolyte from technical soda. However, I currently don't have a car battery charger in operation, so I used a 12V 2A transformer instead. Anyway, thanks for the video tutorial👍 And coincidentally, I have a very similar adjustable wrench for rust removal. 🙂

    Right about 03:30, my experience has been that using a drill, dremel too, or bench grinder/brush and a steel brush, rather than a hand brush will produce a nice sheen on even badly pitted steel. It’s still pitted, but has a nice sheen. Just as an experiment, after the steel brush, I quickly gave it a quick pickling bath to ‘reactivate’ the surface, and thoroughly drying it with a shop vac and a blow dryer, I hit it with a self-etching, pit-filling spray on primer, a light sanding of only the exposed surfaces with 400 grit sandpaper, quick wipedown with tackcloth, on more coat of really thin primer, and a final couple of coats of really tough bright aluminum finish spray paint, and it not only looked a thousand percent better, it held up amazingly well under occasional use. It was a pair of vice-grips, and with normal lubrication and usage, the small amount of overspray on the threads and moving surfaces fell away and didn’t cause a problem. It wasn’t necessary, I just wanted to see if it would work. Nowadays, you can get super tough clear coats that come in specialized rattle-cans that apply 2-part epoxy-based coatings that are orders of magnitude harder and tougher than anything previously available in a spray can that could be used in such situations. A can of that stuff costs about the same as a new pair of vice-grips at Walmart lol, but cheap entertainment for weirdos like me… I get away with all kinds of stuff under the “proof of concept experiment” excuse. He-he …

    After watching a number of tutorials on electrolytic de-rusting, I note a common error in terminology used. This is always in relation to a "sacrificial anode". NOTE: there is NO sacrificial anode in this process. To explain, let's for example look at nickel plating. A metal object (the cathode) to be plated is placed in a solution and a piece of nickel (the anode) is also placed in the solution. Current is then passed through the solution via the 2 electrodes. The piece of nickel is dissolved into the solution and transferred via the solution onto the part being plated. Because the nickel electrode gives itself up to the plating process, it is called a sacrificial electrode. With electrolytic de-rusting, rust is removed from the piece being de-rusted (the cathode) and deposited onto the anode. The anode does not give itself up to this process and therefore is NOT SACRIFICIAL. If anything, the part being de-rusted is the sacrificial electrode.

      I think people still call it sacrificial metal because you're not going to want it after this process. Like don't use your best pliers for the anode, use a throwaway bit. Something you can lose. Two different uses of the word sacrificial, both correct.

    How does this exactly work? With nickel electroplating, the material of the Anode part will go onto the Cathode part. In this case, than i would say that the material of the sacrifical part (anode), wil cover your part (cathode). Why is the rust dissapearing this way?

  • @carlene5cats

    You don't need the vinegar. Just keep using electrolysis, it will do a better job than using vinegars. It will remove all of the rust completely. I see in the video there is still some rust remaining. Acid will promotes rerusting eventually. Oil helps but when it drys up or is removed by use it will quickly rerust. Don't use vinegar.

    When I used electrolysis for the first time it worked really well. When I tried it for the second time with another object. I changed the water, added new soda and brushed the anode clean. I turned it on and works good at the beginning. but as time goes on it stops working good and there isn't any foam stuff forming on top. The water only turns slightly brown and there are almost no bubbles after a few hours. The item still has a lot of rust on it after it has been in the electrolysis bath for almost 2 days. What am I doing wrong?

    It helps to place several sacrificial anodes around the item to be cleaned . The greatest current flows to the closest part of the item to the anode . By having more anodes you get better overall coverage and it works faster.
    Instead of oiling the tool after the derust process , you can spray it will a zinc rich coating. the surface of the steel is in perfect condition to take this kind of coating and it becomes very durable.

Wish you’d shown it just after removing and a water rinse only. Ive done a lot and get the same result from a bristle brush wheel and orange oil! Make my own penetrant from atf and lighter fluid to soak in first, which is far better than wd or a-z brand stinky perfumed diesel! Dry ice and lasers are amazing but costly. Nice demo

    I just call it the “collector” or “rust magnet” or “accumulator” and a circular bent hangar anode set around the “victim” or “subject” or “target” will be more efficient. I can see “disposable” but I just cant do “sacrificial” because it collects debris and is like a dirty dish but hey what do words matter anymore either…

    It looks like you're pouring a couple of soft drinks over the wrench after the process yet you never list them at the beginning as part of the materials needed. The video mentions vinegar but the vinegar at the beginning is white, clear.

      Hi, I believe 12v mobile charger will work fine for the electrolysis proccess.

    • @klink370
      @klink370 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No simple answer but I'll try. Your mobile charger is 12v and is capable or producing 2 amps of current (maximum). The amount of current it will produce in the electrolysis method will vary, depending on how well the electrical connections to the part to be de-rusted and the other part is, as well as how conductive your liquid solution is. I use a 12v charger, capable of producing 8 amps. I have never seen it go above even 1/2 amp so I don't see why your 2 amp charger won't work.

      Any power source you can adjust the current on will do. Galvanised steel definitely won't work , any bit of rusty iron will do the trick though.

    • @Flamingfurnace
      @Flamingfurnace  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      This is part of the chimical process usualy it will be a bit green at start then just brown rusty. Water is safe enough to dump on grass will not harm it or contaminte the soil can in be disposed in the drain. It's not toxic however just to highlight again NEVER to be used with stainless steel as it will be toxic and also Illegal to dump.

    Hello! Can you please help me?
    I recently have acquired some old antique parts and tools that I need to remove the rust from using electrolysis. Unfortunately my old style battery charger just died and I went to purchase a new one. Apparently they make these new battery chargers “idiot proof“ because when I plugged it in they work nothing like the old ones as now they have incorporated a bunch of silly safety measures I guess to keep some numbskull from blowing himself up or electrocuting himself! 🙄 On the old style battery chargers you could take the positive and negative connectors scrape them together and they would spark but you can’t do these with the new ones. Can you recommend a type of charger like the old chargers I can use? Thank you!

    • @Flamingfurnace
      @Flamingfurnace  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hi Phayzyre105, thank you so much for your question, I totally get you and I am happy I bought couple of years back an old battery charger, I can suggest if you have an old transformer 6v or 12v even better you can use it, just make sure you identify the positive (+) and negative (-) in advance, some old mobile phone chargers might do the trick, another option is too look for second hand battery charger and again I don't know what size of object you plan to de-rust but if it's reasonable size a small transformer will work. If it's just light rust you can leave it in vinager for a few days and after use soft metal wool to clean it up and oil after, if its heavy rust electrolysis will do the trick 😉

Just one more thing I read in the past some comments from people saying to consider mechanical parts under high work stress as the electrolysis might weaken the metal part, I don't know much about this but worth checking in case your parts are for mechanical use, all the best.

      polymerization is involved in curing a cast-iron skillet with oil at ~500 F in an oven to PREVENT rust. Doubt any role in this for REMOVING rust.

    I was thinking about applying this to Oil and Gas downhole tools which have suffered corrosion but to be honest. Just save time and money, strip it down, wire brush and WD40. I really wanted to find a benefit from this. With an adjustable screw driver, the only good thing you may be able to do is free the securing bolt for the lower jaw, when that is free you can disassemble it in minutes. Seriously not finding any reason to go through this process.
