Over a period of 19 months, the oxygen in the air dissolves in the vinegar solution and continues to attack the metals. Meanwhile, the vinegar continues to remove the rust, which opens the way for new oxidation. The only reason for some of the tools to have survived is that it is a slow process.

The sound of the wire brush being sped up is really satisfying.

So just to confirm. Are you saying that leaving the tools in vinegar for that long does not damage the steel? For example, the box wrench that is now a pry bar, is that because the rust was so bad or because of 19mo in vinegar?

@AndrewReuter

7 жыл бұрын

Chris Lawrence: Good question! For the "pry bar," I'm guessing that that end of the wrench was submerged in the 1" or so of rusty muck at the bottom of the trash can. Being surrounded by all that gunk probably sped up the oxidation process there. (As far as I know, complete tools could have been dissolved down there. I didn't keep track of what I put into the can at the beginning of the experiment. Wasn't supposed to last this long...) So yeah, the 19-month exposure did damage the metal, but most of that was limited to the surfaces of the tools, like with the open end of the wrench. The pitting in the impact sockets were likely hidden rust pockets, though.

Fe(s) + 2  H2O(l) ⇌ Fe(OH)2(s) + H2(g) Fe(OH)2(s) + 2CH3CO2H(l) ⇌ Fe(CH3CO2H)2(aq) Or something along those lines. What I mean, iron keeps rusting inside the vinegar, in fact it does it even faster now that it has vinegar disolving the "protective" oxide that covers the metal. So yes, vinegar damages the steel, as it oxidates faster inside it.

Thank you for going through this process and documenting it. You have confirmed what we've long known, which is; Acid eats rust chemically, so when left long enough, deep rust pockets (that are invisible to the naked eye) compromise the integrity of metal.

Andrew: I'm gonna neutralize the vinegar in baking soda Me: AUDIBLE CONFUSION

For light rust, a day in a bucket of apple cider vinegar should do it... for medium rust... about 2 days in vinegar does it for me... maybe up to 4.. for heavy, like a week. If you're leaving anything in for 19 months, it's likely there won't be much left there when you remove it if it was that much rusted. The main key you need to know is, when you remove it, don't wash the item, or blow dry it... water and heat will start rust back immediately. Instead, wipe it with a somewhat clean rag dry, then brush on with a paint brush phosphoric acid and let it sit. Before the phosphoric acid gets super sticky and dries, wipe it off. This will stop any further rust from forming. If you got really tough rust pits that won't come out, alternate between soaking it in apple cidar vinegar and phosphoric acid, back and forth, and scrub it with a wire brush in between... while going back and forth between these you can run the piece under a tap as you scrub the rust loose like it was mud... just as soon as you are done go back into the other chemical for more derusting. If you are short on time and want to derust something as fast as possible chemically, and it's a small part, go straight into phosophoric acid. Great for small parts that can go in a mason jar or big pickle jar. If it's a bigger part, paint it with phosphoric acid with a brush and wrap in plastic, and uncover and keep repainting it periodically to keep it in wet with phosphoric acid. Apple Cider Viengar from Walmart or the grocery store by the gallon is cheapest... followed by white vinegar which doesn't smell so bad. Lemon juice works too and smells nice but is quite expensive.

I had a pair of needle nose pliers that were lightly rusted. I soaked them in vinegar for a couple of hours, then used a scrub brush on them, and oiled them, and they look like new. Best thing for tools is to keep them indoors in an air conditioned room if you can, which prevents the rust from forming.

Thanks for the video. I do this a lot with old rusted out tools, axes, hammers, machetes, even old school tonka trucks. They look great afterwards with some sanding or paint. Always wondered how long was too long in the vinegar bath. I also do a 60/40 mix.

Ah, it must be the chrome and the copper layer it was plated onto that gave the grunge that greenish hue instead of the familiar black/orange of iron oxides. I've found chrome doesn't much like evaporust either, ruined the surface finish. I dissolved/destroyed an aluminum (maybe pot-metal?) lawn-mower carburetor in vinegar once, wasn't anything usable left once I remembered it and rediscovered where I'd set the container it was in. Recently I've been cleaning old VW engine parts in vinegar using my (cheap Chinese) ultrasonic cleaner. Most of the parts cleaned up really well after one night of degreasing/agitation and one night of vinegar/agitation. But one thing surprised me, the valve springs (which were only lightly rusted) came out in terrible condition with their outer surface eaten away and severely rough/pitted! I theorize that some treatment involved in the creation of the springs left the metal in a condition where they were semi-resistant to rust but vulnerable to attack by the vinegar. Any/all chemists/metallurgists that read this far, please chime in! I'm curious why this happened. Like you, I experimented with parts that were marginally reusable at best. Next up is a smashed carburetor from the wrecking yard, to test how the aluminum/steel/brass combo holds up when in the solution together!

I've used vinegar to clean out an old metal fuel tank, worked perfectly. Better than what I had ever thought it would. That fuel tank is still in use today and no issues with rust ever since. Although I did have to replace the small inline fuel filter numerous times until it was totally clean. Just a little bit of first hand experience with something that used to be a "throw away" item if it had rust inside of it! Cheers.

@@NowLedgeOutpost Nope, hard to suggest anything without seeing it, but a shallow dish/tote/tub with vinegar in it and rotate the part in that (gradually) might be the way to go, but again, that is dependent on the actual part itself and your call. It will take much longer that way. Some parts you must use a softer scrubbing brush, on the ones that are chunky steel, you can even bravely attempt a wire brush. But the vinegar WILL eat into the rust, not the steel,

My personal favorite how to basic video.

Commercial store bought vinegar is a mix of water and vinegar acid. Yes, the acid attacks rust, but it attacks metal too. The best rust removal happens inside the first 2 hours. Anything after that allows the vinegar to begin attacking the metal too. [Actually it attacks the metal instantly, but without a magnifying glass you can''t see that with only a 2 or 3 hour soak.] Leave something in the vinegar overnight and you can be sure it will have tiny pit marks etched into it. Leave it in for months and I am surprised anything survived.

If you suspend the tools in vinegar so they aren't swimming in their own oxides, you should see minimal corrosion, as the acid has affinity for the oxides a lot more than the metal itself. Other acids can be better or worse as far as this affinity goes, oxalic acid for instance is even better than vinegar.

It's used as wood bleach, to remove black stains from water penetration. That might get you in the right aisle to start checking ingredients. Not sure since I buy it online. Oh, it causes cancer, so you know its the good stuff.

Interesting. I bought a couple of small victorian seeding machines on ebay a few years ago. They were both the same design so I thought I would be able to make one good one from parts of both. When they arrived, they were solid with rust and stuck together. None of the parts could move, it was like a model of two machines. I made up a vinegar bath and soaked them for a whole week, then cleaned and oiled them and they were both able to be moved about and seperated. Eventually I made one good one from both then fabricated the missing bits on the second and ended up with two useable machines..Im amazed your tools were still alive after all that time.

Thanks...this one is firmly in the memory bank for the next time I have scheduled in a job in 18 months time, but just noticed some rust on an essential tool. Glad to know that's 5 minutes of my life gone to something worthwhile. Just a couple of points i would like to run by you... Firstly ...what should i do if i need the afore mentioned essential tool within the 18months? And maybe the application would work more effectively if the vinegar was mixed with 2 stroke oil prior to application?...if this mixture does indeed work then maybe you could sell it as Vinegar Stroke.

The little spring that could.

Care must be taken when using vinegar to remove rust from items that are/ were chrome or zinc plated. If left a day or so the vinegar will remove the zinc/ chrome plating. The problem is that there are carcinogenic elements used in both chroming and zinc plating and these will now be floating around in the vinegar/ rust soup. The most dangerous is the gold coloured plating with the slight rainbow/ oil-slick effect on the surface. This is called hexavalent chromate and it is highly carcinogenic to the point that it was banned in many countries. So, extreme care needs to be taken when disposing of the used vinegar and anything it has come in touch with it.

I have used steel wool (brand new) and vinegar to make leather dye; the vinegar dissolves the metal to form what I believe is called ferric acid. This turns leather jet black (but sadly also breaks the fibers down over time). My point is that the vinegar doesn't just eat rust. It happily dissolves shinny new ferrous metal as well if you leave it long enough!

When the vinegar dissolves the ferrous oxide (rust) they combine to form Ferrous Acetate. Also known as Vinegar Black or Vinegaroon. It can be used to blacken wood or vegetable tanned leather (leather tanned using wood bark tannins) If used on wood it actually helps prevent rot from seawater. This is whybthe British used it to blacken the decks of their sailing ships hundreds of years ago.
