Cyanide Free Alkaline Electrolyte and Electrochemical Process for Rust Removal from Plain Carbon Steel Components

Cleaning of small rusted steel components and surface cleaning of steel components before Ni, Zn or another metal electroplating.

Very fast electrochemical rust removal process (1-2 min)

• Alkaline cleaning process – No hydrogen embrittlement and the cleaned surface is passivated to prevent immediate rusting

• 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

This technology can be widely used in heavy industrial structures of plain carbon steel.
