Rust and oxidation are similar processes that lead to corrosion of metals. Iron and steel rust, while aluminum and brass oxidize. Over time exposure to oxygen and moisture will cause rust and oxidation. If left untreated, the rust and oxidation will continue to corrode the metal. In time an object may become so corroded it can no longer be used.
To remove rust from industrial iron or steel installations use a #35373 knotted wire cup wheel on a Metabo W8-115 - 4 1/2" Angle Grinder.
The Weiler Brush 13286 is an equivalent knot wire cup product for removing rust and oxidation from metal surfaces.
For larger surface removal or preparation, use Metabo W24-180 7" Angle Grinder with AA Abrasives #35381 - 5" Cup Wire Brush Knotted Wheel or a Weiler Wire Wheel 12276.
