After a good de-rusting be sure to rinse and quickly oil up the parts to prevent flash rust. WD-40 works fine unless the part is to be painted. For that just get primer on, but be aware that primers are porous and just slow oxidation until actually painted over and sealed from the atmosphere. Yes, warm/hot water and ultrasonic will speed the chelating process considerably. BTDT 10/10 on the video.
Have been using this recipe many times (found it on another channel) and it works really well and lasts much longer than Evaporust. The only thing to be aware of is that it dissolves zink. Brass, copper and aluminium seems unaffected.
Nice end results. But if you look closely, the muffler has a lot of metal gone (holes) from the rust around the treaded part. So it may not be long before it is gone... Thumbs Up!
Perhaps the Chemical equation is: H3C6H5O7 (citric acid) + 3Na2CO3 (sodium carbonate) → 2Na3C6H5O7 (sodium citrate) + 3H2O (water) + 3CO2 (carbon dioxide) But molar mass and actual mass added to the water probably leaves it with a pH
Nope, you want monosodium and disodium citrates, trisodium citrate is about as useful as using citric acid for derusting purposes (it is useless), this is why you add less soda than you do citric acid.

@moonolyth Thank you for stating one of the medical uses of Molasses. I’m always interested in a more natural or holistic treatment. Would love to tell Big Pharma to take a long walk down a short pier.
If you watch original Beyond Ballistics video (Better than Evaporust), he gives 3 recipes, you don't need sodium carbonate, you can use baking soda or caustic soda instead, just use different quantities.
Substituting 63g baking soda for the 40g sodium carbonate (washing soda ?) gives the same result without having to go to the trouble of heating the baking soda...
I also use citric acid for rust removal and for things internet says "vinegar" instead, because I hate the smell. I've found that adding heat makes rust removal significantly faster, you don't have to wait overnight if you're in a hurry. Best commercial rust remover I've used is Bilt Hamber Deox-C, it's also in powder form, and gets faster when the solution is heated.
Arrhenius rule says that reaction rate doubles every +10C. It is a rule of thumb but often correct for similar reactions like this. +30C would be 8 times faster.
You can find citric acid at most hardware stores (or Amazon) and sodium carbonate is washing soda, which can usually be found in the grocery with washing detergents. I live in the USA, so take that into account.
Interesting! Great results. Only issue I have is that it gets spent. Evaporust lasts a very long time. Adding an air stone will accelerate the process.
So you dissolve citric acid in water to have an acidic solution, you partially neutralize it with sodium carbonate, you are left with water, smaller concentration of citric acid and sodium citrate. You could have just used less citric acid since sodium citrate is having less weight in the rust removal process.
I know it's dumbed down for people who couldn't care less, but does water to citric acid ratio actually matter? Does spreading the mollecules far enough apart before adding any of the sodas make a big difference in quality of solution? That is, will I get same results if I add thrice as much of citric acid and soda to 0.5l of water, or will it be worse? Likewise if I add a third of citric acid and soda to 1l of water... I know that chemistry is fickle sometimes, that's why some chemicals are very expensive and of course, sometimes outright illegal unless you're educated enough with proof to handle them. And sure, you can say I should try and see, and I am waiting for one thing to derust right now in like 800ml of water with 30g citric acid, which started as like 100ml of water turned into 30% citric acid solution with more water being added to wash out remaining citric acid (which doesn't really matter) and then I was adding water together with soda very slowly for same reason, to remove all of it from a cup. For completeness sake, I used baking soda, of which you need 63g per 100g citric acid, in other words, 18.9g in my case. And I'm asking because I know that trisodium citrate is basically worthless and what we're going for is mostly monosodium citrate, hence lower amount of soda that doesn't completely kill the acid, leading to ~4pH
Citrus is massively too expensive to waste on rust removal. That would take approximately 20 lemons - $30 Canadian where I live. The citric acid is $2.
No it does not for iron. It makes everything in its vicinity rust even from the vapors and is notoriously difficult to remove as it creates corrosive chlorides. It will dissolve rust as well as many metals. I frequently etch metals with HCl + H2O2, that is never done in the shop. The sodiumcitrate process is very good and inexpensive, it helps to add a little alcohol as well.
@@anasalwash it's not completely neutralized since he is using 0.52mol of citric acid vs 0.38mol of sodium carbonate. So there are still free H+ ions, but less than before. Is it useful? Probably not.
I would think Evaporust and electrolysis would be a better solution than having to wait so long with that process. But it looks interesting regardless of the situation.
One problem. The mixture got neutral with both ingredients. I've done it with the acid first and then the baking soda. Reverse PH knocks the rust of big time!
your just using a weak vinegar to remove rust the baking soda kills the acid in the vinegar soap does let it stick yes you want to remove rust evapo rust is your only option.
Thank you AJ!
Thank you Beyond Ballistics!

I've used this solution, my experience is it it way cheaper and removes rust over many more uses than evapo rust or any other thing I've ever tried.
That’s amazing AJ, I’ll have to give it a try! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, it is a very helpfull as we all have some rust removing to do.🐞
Phosphoric acid works very well.
Have been using this recipe many times (found it on another channel) and it works really well and lasts much longer than Evaporust. The only thing to be aware of is that it dissolves zink. Brass, copper and aluminium seems unaffected.
Yes, it removed the zinc plating from pieces I tested, too.
Good to know.
I want to try one of the Lazer rust removers too!!!
Nice end results. But if you look closely, the muffler has a lot of metal gone (holes) from the rust around the treaded part. So it may not be long before it is gone... Thumbs Up!
the whole point is that unrusted metal is mostly undamaged, at extremely low price

Attach magnesium after cleaning to stop corrosion. bake baking soda on glass and it turns to sodium carbonate needed here.
Please explain bake baking soda on glass... Do you mean pour it into a glass container on a stove or inside over at what temp, 450F?

@pfadiva is correct, its easy to come by for most.
@@pfadiva thx for the info... I'm in the states also... Should be easy to find it...
Looks like it will even remove the carbon from the inside of the muffler
Interesting! Great results. Only issue I have is that it gets spent. Evaporust lasts a very long time. Adding an air stone will accelerate the process.
With hevily rusted parts Evaporust also gets spent quickly. My Evaporust sollution got spent with the 3rd use. Its not worth the money.
Beyond Ballistics made comparison with Evaporust and his product was applicable more times than Evaporust.
So you dissolve citric acid in water to have an acidic solution, you partially neutralize it with sodium carbonate, you are left with water, smaller concentration of citric acid and sodium citrate. You could have just used less citric acid since sodium citrate is having less weight in the rust removal process.
I was thinking the exact same thing.
@@dreimer2 me too, it makes little sense unless you like to watch the reaction... lots of bubbles
You should probably stick with Evapo-Rust
Isn’t it an acidic buffer solution ?

hydrochloric acid works much better and fast.
and vinegar or citrus acid pure works also ok..

Citrus is massively too expensive to waste on rust removal. That would take approximately 20 lemons - $30 Canadian where I live. The citric acid is $2.
2.2 pounds of Citric Acid cost me $5.66 and it will make 10 liters of solution. Its really damn cheap comparing to evaporust

Circa 1% Fe2SO4 may activate/ catalyze the process, has anyone tried it?
Have you tested just Distilled White Vinegar? I use it for fuel tanks and it can do that in about 1 hour.

so, the only active ingredient is the soap since the acid and base neutralized each other
