Interesting. Luv the science behind that.processhead
Interesting. Luv the science behind that.What I like is that it doesn’t remove any of the original iron, just the rust/dirt/grease.
Sand blasting will remove all that too, but you also lose the original smooth finish in the process. -
RON PARRISH said in CAST IRON:
processhead Thank you very much. I will give it a shot!
In the past I have posted pictures here of some cast iron sausage stuffers that I have refurbished using this process.
It does a good job of removing rust, carbon, old paint, and dried on grease/crud.
Usually you have to do a little washing with detergent and hot water and a scotchbrite pad to remove remaining dry deposits after you are through, but it is usually fairly easy at that point.
After the piece is dried, it will be ready to re-season.processhead I knew you would have a good solution, you are a wealth of great information, thanks for all you do to help everyone out.

RON PARRISH those are not in bad shape and would be easy to clean up. Im not sure who makes the top one, it may be a Lodge. The bottom one is a Wagner Ware, which was made just up the road in Sidney, Ohio and is a collectable since they are no longer made. I have a few pieces from them. That looks like light surface rust so they would clean up easy. Just re-season them after cleaning them just like a skillet. If you ever want to get rid of them let me know.

Here are some cast iron parts from a sausage stuffer that I cleaned up yesterday using electrolysis.
The exterior of the tub still had some of the original painted artwork. I chose to leave it alone. Just a wash and oiled with white oil.

processhead Cleaned up nice. When I found one at the flea market years ago, I used a drill with a wire brush to clean it up, your way looks a whole lot easier.

processhead nice work! What is the electrolysis chem process for cast iron? Ive done silver cleaning with salt water, heat, and alum foil anode?cathode? Whichever attracts the oxide. Do you actually run a current on it, etc.
Thanks, very interested in your process errr…processhead!
