Here’s a note we got from a customer:
Years ago in my high school science lab we were taught that rust was a form of oxidation or corrosion, colorfully described as slow burning. To demonstrate, the teacher put some fine steel wool to the Bunsen burner, and sure enough, she was right!
Fast forward to today when I operate a small metal casting and fabricating shop that produces parts generally made out of gray iron and mild steel. Parts are degreased and loose burrs removed in my Elma S 120 ultrasonic cleaner, then stored for a short period of time before being painted.
