  • The formation of a rust layer on the surface of iron and steels accelerates their degradation and eventually causes the failure of materials. In addition to fabricating a protective layer or using a sacrificial anode, repairing or removing the rust layer is another way to reduce the corrosion rate and extend the lifespan of iron and steels. Herein, an electrochemical deoxidation approach is employed to repair the rust layer in molten Na2CO3-K2CO3. The rust consists of oxides which can be electrochemically reduced to metals/alloys, releasing oxide ions into the molten salt. The electrochemical method uses electrons to convert oxide to metal rather than remove the entire rust layer away. Due to the fluidity of the molten salt electrolyte, the electrochemical derusting approach is not constrained by the shape of the objects. The rusty layer of iron rods and screws was electrochemically converted to iron by molten salt electrolysis. Thus, the high-temperature molten salt electrolysis may be an effective way to metalize iron rust and be used for repairing cultural relics and healing the rust layers on other metals.

Abstract: The formation of a rust layer on the surface of iron and steels accelerates their degradation and eventually causes the failure of materials. In addition to fabricating a protective layer or using a sacrificial anode, repairing or removing the rust layer is another way to reduce the corrosion rate and extend the lifespan of iron and steels. Herein, an electrochemical deoxidation approach is employed to repair the rust layer in molten Na2CO3-K2CO3. The rust consists of oxides which can be electrochemically reduced to metals/alloys, releasing oxide ions into the molten salt. The electrochemical method uses electrons to convert oxide to metal rather than remove the entire rust layer away. Due to the fluidity of the molten salt electrolyte, the electrochemical derusting approach is not constrained by the shape of the objects. The rusty layer of iron rods and screws was electrochemically converted to iron by molten salt electrolysis. Thus, the high-temperature molten salt electrolysis may be an effective way to metalize iron rust and be used for repairing cultural relics and healing the rust layers on other metals.
