Cyanide Free Alkaline Electrolyte and Electrochemical Process for Rust Removal from Plain Carbon Steel Components
Implementing Organization
National Metallurgical Laboratory (NML)
Project Overview
Very fast electrochemical rust removal process (1-2 min)
Alkaline cleaning process - No hydrogen embrittlement and the cleaned surface is passivated to prevent immediaterusting
. The electrolyte is free from toxic elements like cyanides
. Operated at room temperature
. Very small components (screws) and big components can be cleaned
. Ready for commercial use in plant scale
