   Use 20% aqueous solution of ferric chloride, it is necessary to immerse the objects in solution, dry and wax or varnish. [30] Gray-black for zinc. Use 20% aqueous solution of ferric chloride, the objects are immersed for 20 minutes, after the appearance of colour, objects should be washed, dried and waxed or varnished. [30] Black for aluminum

3. Conservation and restoration of iron and steel objects

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_and...

   The prevention and removal of surface dirt and corrosion products are some of the primary concerns of conservator-restorers when dealing with iron or steel objects, including nickel-iron meteorites. Conservation and restoration of iron and steel may begin with analysis of the environment that the objects will be stored and displayed in ...

4. Rust - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust

   Rust removal from small iron or steel objects by electrolysis can be done in a home workshop using simple materials such as a plastic bucket filled with an electrolyte consisting of washing soda dissolved in tap water, a length of rebar suspended vertically in the solution to act as an anode, another laid across the top of the bucket to act as ...

5. Conservation and restoration of shipwreck artifacts - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_and...

   Ferrous metals such as cast and wrought iron and steel usually corrode to form thick concretions that can entirely cover the metal object. [9] Corroded shipwreck artifacts that are made of iron may be conserved via electrolysis. Electrolysis is a method that uses an electric current to create a chemical reaction that cleans the object and ...

6. Anodizing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anodizing

   Anodizing increases resistance to corrosion and wear, and provides better adhesion for paint primers and glues than bare metal does. Anodic films can also be used for several cosmetic effects, either with thick porous coatings that can absorb dyes or with thin transparent coatings that add reflected light wave interference effects.

7. Rust converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust_converter

   Tannic acid chemically converts the reddish iron oxides into bluish-black ferric tannate, a more stable material. [2] The second active ingredient is an organic solvent such as 2-butoxyethanol (ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, trade name butyl cellosolve) that acts as a wetting agent and provides a protective primer layer in conjunction with an ...

   How To Get Rid Of And Remove Smells From Enameled Cast Iron Additionally, baking soda and warm water can alleviate cooking odors emitted from the cast iron. Mix a paste and apply it, then wash away.

9. Conservation and restoration of lighthouses - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_and...

   Cast iron was the most popular material because it resists corrosion and can be cast into a multitude of shapes. Though iron is sturdy it can be prone to deterioration through corrosion (oxidation, galvanic corrosion, and graphitization), weathering, and flaws from the manufacturing process. Degradation of iron is visible through pitting ...
