It actually will work better if the citric acid water is HOT. Also, don't empty the acid out to neutralize it with baking soda. Slowly add in the baking soda and keep stirring. Once the pH is raised up to around 9 or 10 you will see the finish of the iron turn to black. This is some of the iron in the acid solution re-depositing back onto the iron as magnetite. You can read about this process used in the cleaning of thousands of ton boilers. It is called Citrisolve. Used it by the tanker load all over the world. Common method for cleaning newly constructed steam boilers for making power.

So if you do the way you described does it remove the rust And then coat with a thin layer of magnatite that bonds to it and prevents rust without having to paint it? Also will that work if I use vinegar instead of citric acid and then neutralize it with the baking soda as you said going beyond neutral ph7 to ph9? How long in ph9? Then what, just rinse in water and you're done?
@lpconserv60743 жыл бұрын
@@user-tf8mi3nt6j Yes, you can use vinegar instead of citric acid. And you can also use regular RealLemon juice to supply the citric acid. RealLemon is around 4 % citric acid. And when you neutralize it with the baking soda, you will need to go a little slowly as it is going to foam and fizz a little bit. As I said warm is better than room temperature, but not so hot you cannot touch it. Allow the baking soda to dissolve and sit for a couple of hours with a little stirring occasionally. Once the black iron magnetite is formed, you can simply reach in and remove the tool, throw out the solution and just rinse in normal water from the tap. Dry it and apply a light oil to prevent rust back For tools that you want to have that burnished look and still show their age but without that red / orange rust color you can also do a bit of extra iron to assist in forming that layer. Just clean a small piece of steel wool with paint thinner and dry the steel wool well. Put it in the bowl with the tool you are working on. When at the final stage with the baking soda, take the steel wool and rub the finish together with the tool gently to assist in transferring the magnetite to the tool. Then after the tool is rinsed, dried, and oiled take the steel wool, add oil, and gently burnish the tool surfaces. Keep up the work on saving these old tools. I find them much better quality than you can get new.

What is the desired concentration of the acid in the water? Or do you just eyeball it, like a lot of us? Thanks for the video. P.S. For anyone looking for something that may be a little stronger, instead of using grocery store vinegar (typically a 5% solution), try getting a gallon or more of 30% vinegar, you should use this outside with gloves and safety glasses, but it works faster, but is not as strong or dangerous as muriatic acid.
@southernflatland Жыл бұрын
In my experience (and I just did this earlier today), start with a mix of vinegar and salt, it works much faster. But all the more reason to neutralize the reaction with baking soda... The vinegar/salt reaction might only take a few hours or so, but you absolutely have to neutralize it with baking soda. During the reactions, occasionally brush the metals off of course. But afterwards, make sure to neutralize as stated. Then use anything except WD-40, that's not considered a proper long term oil. I use 3-in-1 oil as an initial preservative oil.

I have a few rusty files (decades-old American-made), guess I need to try it. Of course, with something like weights, the best option would be to sandblast... something I'll be prepping to do tomorrow, in fact.
