[Stoves] Re: Improving longevity of steel stoves; Chiwicla-lining

Dear William

I went to school with a guy whose father had a company that specialised in 
this art of preventing rust (which is just as possible using a far lower 
current).  All the sons followed suit.

They did it with pipelines, passing a small current into gas pipelines to 
prevent them rusting.  Apparently it is possible to rebuild at least some of 
the metal that has oxidized.  That is applied to old ships that stand in 
harbours as tourist attractions.  Look around and you will find wires 
leading to a DC source!

Now...what about cheap plating for heat resistance!

Thanks
Crispin

I have been learning about Electrolytic Rust Removal lately.

You hook up a rusty part you want to clean to a negative lead from a
trickle charger, and immerse in a solution of baking soda and water.

The positive lead goes to a sacrificial piece of metal and that also
sits in the solution.
