Electrolysis, and cast iron. - Bigtrev - 03-01-2017

Electrolysis, and cast iron.
I been trawling the net for weeks, and totally confused as to whether electrolysis will harm/damage cast iron.
Has anyone tried it? if so what's your thoughts on it?
Thanks

Have done it with no problems and good results. I use to leave parts in for an hour or so but I now find that several cycles of 10-15 minutes being zapped followed by a good scrub with hot water in between works very well.

Agreed! The scrub is totally key to efficient cleaning.
