Chain is an important part of the mechanical transmission system, its role is to transfer the power and withstand the mechanical load. However, due to the working environment, the chain is easy to rust, which will affect the transmission efficiency and service life. Therefore, the chain rust removal is an essential link in the chain maintenance process. This article will introduce the working conditions and operation steps of chain rust removal, and how to remove rust safely.

1. Working condition analysis

 The working condition of chain rust removal is divided into two kinds: mechanical rust removal and chemical rust removal.

 Mechanical rust removal is through mechanical cutting or brushing the rust layer on the surface of the chain, using manipulator, brush, grinding wheel and other tools, its advantage is that the effect is obvious, but must be removed after the chain, the operation is cumbersome and easy to hurt workers.

Chemical rust removal is through the use of rust remover agents to convert rust into water-soluble compounds through chemical reactions. This method has the advantages of good rust removal effect and not easy to damage the surface quality of the chain. It should be noted that the chemical rust remover is mostly a corrosive liquid, and the operators must wear protective equipment and operating gloves. Position recommended a chemical ENIENT@EC0132 neutral rust remover, destructive rust removal.

2. operating steps

 The operation steps of chain rust removal are as follows:

1. Prepare the tools and equipment. Rust remover, brush, sandpaper and other tools, prepare protective equipment, such as protective glasses, masks, gloves, protective clothing and so on.

2. Remove the chain. Remove the chain and remove grease and dust from the sprocket so that no foreign impurities stick to the chain surface.

3.  Clean the chain. Soak the chain in the rust removal liquid. After a certain amount of time, brush the rust on the surface of the chain until the rust is completely removed.

4. Wash out and dry. Wash the chain surface and the sprocket gap with clean water; then dry the chain in a ventilated place.

5. Lubricate the chain. Apply the cleaned and dried chain surface with proper lubricant or grease, which helps protect the chain surface from rust and extend the service life of the chain.

3. safe operation

 In the process of chain rust removal, safety must be paid attention to. Here are some tips for safe operations:

1. Protect your eyes. A lot of water vapor will be generated during the chain cleaning process, please wear protective glasses.

2. Prevent corrosion. When using corrosive liquids, wear plastic gloves and long sleeve protective clothing to prevent corrosion from touching the skin.

Ensure that the working area is well ventilated. When cleaning supplies and tools, ENIENT@EC0132 rust removal agent waste liquid can be discharged without causing environmental pollution.
