How to remove rust on metal objects: a simple method

Rust is a natural process. When metal objects come into contact with oxygen and water, they undergo oxidation, forming various compounds: oxides, hydroxides, and oxide hydrates. Rust can affect all metal surfaces, but the most sensitive are the internal and external components of products, welds, and threaded connections.

The areas affected by corrosion freely retain moisture, which creates optimal conditions for further destruction of the products. Read the OBOZ.UA article to know how to remove rust on metal objects.
