So does this only work for rust, or does it clean other things like cutting scratches and the dark spots that look like water stains on a blade too? Li-Chuan Chen. Lord Cobol Member. Posts: AFAIK, it's only good for rust. Somebody else a while ago said it helped polish too, but it didn't for me.
GREAT for rust though, and it doesn't scratch the steel so you don't have to polish to recover from the rust-removal.
I looked into the matter and will try it out myself on a few cheap blades. I'd be careful though since as soon as the iron oxide comes off the steel it will try to bond with the aluminum to form aluminum oxide. Aluminum itself isn't abrasive but aluminum oxide IS.
Using that on the hamon area could cause some problems will become shiny. Jussi Ekholm Member. Tried it on a TH blade with small surface rust spots. To be honest it did very little to the actual rust spots but it did indeed polish the blade a bit. Don't know how long I would be supposed to rub it, but in the time I spent rubbing, I would easily have removed the spots with fine grit paper.
I remember trying this once before with similar results, and that's why I've been sticking with high grit papers for rust removal. I did it like in the Wikipedia link, but with no luck. Possibly with longer rubbing I might have gotten another result.

It shouldn't be. The precursor to aluminum foil was made with tin because aluminum was too expensive to extract.
But the technology improved by the turn of the 20th century, making aluminum cheaper and the foil material of choice. Q: Why does aluminum foil sometimes melt and leave black specks on food?
It's so unsettling: Cover a lasagna with foil -- or even the cannelli dish on Page FDX -- and the foil might end up looking like swiss cheese. According to the Reynold's Wrap website, "when aluminum foil comes in contact with a different metal or a food that is highly salted or acidic, small pinholes are formed in the foil.
This is a harmless reaction that does not affect the safety of the food. Reynold's says a reaction happens when aluminum foil comes in contact with salt, vinegar, highly acidic foods -- such as tomatoes -- or highly spiced foods. The foil seems to dissolve or get eaten away, but what happens is it turns into an aluminum salt.
Aluminum salts, like sodium aluminum phosphate, are found in many processed foods. Most scientists do not consider aluminum toxic. The Reynold's website says: "The food can be safely eaten; however, the aluminum salt particles can be removed from the food to improve the appearance of the food. If the aluminum reaction bothers you, in many situations you can put parchment paper between the food and the foil. Scientists have long known that aluminum oxide does not corrode rapidly in water, but they have been unable to fully explain why.
Now, for the first time, researchers have shown that liquid H 2 O has a surprisingly potent effect when it comes in contact with the surface of a metal oxide, a finding that has industrial and environmental implications. Trainor and collaborators from the University of Chicago and Lawrence Berkeley National Lab present the first atomic-level model of what happens when water and aluminum oxide meet.
But Brown and Trainor discovered that, when water molecules come in contact with aluminum oxide, the aluminum and oxygen atoms on the surface move apart -- in some cases separating by more than 50 percent compared to their normal molecular positions.
This change in molecular structure is why aluminum oxide metal resists corrosion. Does vinegar remove rust? For more stubborn rust , try using white vinegar. The acetic acid in this common household product is acidic enough to dissolve rust.
You can soak smaller things like earrings, wipe it onto a surface with an old cloth, or just pour it directly over rust spots or bolts and screws that have rusted together.
Serafina Pungs Explainer. Does salt water remove rust? Table salt and white vinegar make a decent rust remover. Ferric oxide rust is soluble in weak hydrochloric acid solutions. Salt alone, or in a paste in water works to remove rust as a simple mild abrasive. Zohaib Remi Explainer. How do you clean rust off of metal?
Use white vinegar. Iliyas Dennhoven Explainer. How do you stop chrome from rusting? There are a few ways to do this. Use wax on all chrome to create a layer to protect the steel. Use WD40 water dispersant 40 to keep the water away from the steel. Can stainless steel rust? Stainless steel can contain other elements such as nickel and manganese, but chromium is the key element which makes it rust resistant.
As long as there is sufficient chromium present, the chromium oxide layer will continue to protect the stainless steel and prevent it from rusting. Bera Pundit. What gets rid of rust on Chrome?
Believe it or not, a simple ball of aluminum foil can remove rust from chrome. Here's how to do it: Make a loose ball of aluminum foil, dip it in a little water, and gently rub the foil onto any rusted areas. If the rust seems particularly stubborn, try dipping the foil in cola yes you read that right! Alton Vinues Pundit. Can you clean a rusted gun? Use the steel wool pad as an abrasive material to rub the gun surface. Then you add gun cleaner on steel wool and rub it lightly on the rusted area.
After some time wipe the gun with the napkins or and check it thoroughly.
