Yep, well known method, and works well....as does lemon juice, vinegar, and a few other things........Lemon juice and vinegar take a day or three depending on amount of rust, but need no electrickery. Have fun, 67kev.

Hi my name is Claire and I run a Rust Proofing business in the English Riviera. www.therustshop.com I have been watching your discussion and would like to introduce you to KBS Coatings this is a product that I have imported over from the States. Getting rid of Rust is one thing but keeping it away is a priority. The three step system is perfect for small or bigger areas of rust and is really easy to use. It doesn't cost the Earth and the rust won't come back.
1.Aquaklean
2.Rustblast
3.Rustseal
Although the Rustseal can go directly over the rust and you can paint over it!

It's a similar process as anodising aluminium, I do a lot of
DIY chemical processes myself to save money and I've got
zinc plating to a reasonable standard, which is similar here,
but the other way round. What happens in that link is, the
soda solution allows charged ions of the metal to pass from
one side of the current to the other, which is why the + side
electrode will get gunked up, but your part will have a
clean surface.
This will work with good results though jigging about with
current, soda strength compared to the size of the bits being
cleaned plays a big role.
But don't forget that in doing this you will gain/lose material to/from
the part being cleaned, can't remember which way round it is LOL,
not loads but enough to make a bearing housing too loose/tight for example....
Good luck with it if you try!!! Well satisfying when it works!!!
ATB, Nick.
