Does anyone have any experience with cleaning metal using muratic acid?I
want to clean a crank shaft that has surface rust and was thinking of mixing
up a solution of acid and putting the whole crank into it for a period of
time until the acid does it's job.What I am wondering is does it affect the
metalurgy at all and what can be used as a neutralizer after.Also what would
be a strong enough solution of acid % to use?
