OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Restoring, Customising and Modifying Tech Talk Electrolysis Bath

I decided to show how good a Electrolysis bath is
Electrolysis bath works by forming Hydrogen bubbles on the surface of the GOOD steel/iron which means everything paint/rust/grease etc is pushed of the surface of the good steel/iron by the bubbles. The wheel was put in overnight I usually do this ready for the next day

The wheel was not cleaned usually I brush of, jet blast of any lose junk
The wheel was NOT rotated over night as I was sound asleep




The wheel hanging in the tank with ONE anode facing the front of the wheel YES it was fully submerged



Removed from tank and you can see most of the junk has fallen off. What can be seen will wipe off with your fingers BUT to do a better job I use a jet blaster. Very small jobs where I would be chasing it around the yard with the jet blaster I do under a tap with a wire brush





All finished and clean when dry ready to paint or to make it shinny like the above mower base run a wire brush over it
Drying of for me in North Queensland with our hot sun is easy you might have to find another way or just use a wire brush before painting to get of rid on any new surface rust
