either spray, dip, flow-on, brush, rag, or sponge and are<br />

always rinsed off with water, preferably hot.<br />

b. Type II materials are applied by either brush, rag, or<br />

sponge and do not have to be rinsed off with water, but<br />

are wiped off with clean, damp rags followed by wiping<br />

with clean, dry rags prior to painting. Type II materials<br />

leave a light, gray-white coating/film on the surface that<br />

acts as a pretreatment for painting.<br />

11.13.3.2.1.2 Type III (Inhibited). Type III materials are<br />

intended for corrosion/rust removal from chromium plated ferrous<br />

alloy surfaces and those bare ferrous alloy surfaces<br />

requiring very close dimensional tolerances. Remove very<br />

heavy rust incrustations by an appropriate mechanical method<br />

in this chapter, and heavy grease, oil, and contamination per<br />

Chapter 7 of this manual as directed by paragraph 11.13.3.1 or<br />

by vapor degreasing before application of these materials.<br />

a. Type III materials are applied by, spray, dip, flow-on,<br />

brush, or by full immersion in a tank containing the<br />

material. Parts are left in the solution tank or the solution<br />

is left on the surface of the part until the rust is<br />

dissolved or loosened sufficiently to permit easy<br />

removal, and then the residue is rinsed off the surface<br />

with fresh, tap water, preferably hot, and the part is<br />

dried. It is then ready for application of the required<br />

corrosion preventive treatment or paint system application.<br />

11.13.3.2.1.3 Type IV (Non-Foaming). Type IV materials<br />

are very similar to Type I, except that non-foaming detergents<br />

are included in the mixture. It is intended for use in pressurized<br />

spray systems at temperatures up to 150 °F (66 °C) maximum,<br />

after which it is rinsed off with fresh, tap water.<br />

11.13.3.2.1.4 Type V (Immersion Tank). Type V materials<br />

are also very similar to Type I, except no grease removing<br />

solvents are used in these materials, so they are only suitable<br />

for use on surfaces from which all grease, oil, and contamination<br />

have been completely removed by cleaning per Chapter 7<br />

of this manual as directed by paragraph 11.13.3.1. It is<br />

intended for use in immersion tanks either at ambient temperatures<br />

or at temperatures up to 140 °F (60 °C) maximum.<br />

11.13.3.2.1.5 Type VI (Brush, Spray, or Dip). Type VI<br />

materials are surface pretreatments and/or rust converters for<br />

application on either newly sand blasted or corroded/rusty<br />

steel surfaces by spray, brush, or dipping. All old grease, oil,<br />

and dirt must be removed as well as all loose and scaly rust<br />

before applying these materials. After application, they are<br />

allowed to dwell on the surface for a minimum of six hours to<br />

form a pretreatment coating on corrosion free ferrous alloys or<br />

to convert the rust on a corroded ferrous surface to a protective,<br />

pretreatment film. After a dwell time of six hours, the<br />

excess materials are rinsed off, the surface is allowed to air<br />

dry, and then the surface can be primed and painted or treated<br />

with a CPC.<br />

AND METAL CONDITIONING 20<br />

• High strength steel parts, those heat-treated above<br />

Rockwell C40 (180,000 PSI) tensile strength, are<br />

subject to hydrogen embrittlement when exposed<br />

to acids, therefore, use of acid rust/corrosion removers<br />

on these parts is prohibited.<br />

• Do not use acidic rust/corrosion removers if there<br />

is a danger of entrapping the materials in crevices<br />

or recesses, as they can cause corrosion in these<br />

areas.<br />

11.13.3.2.1.6 Application and Use of MIL-C-10578 Corrosion<br />

Removing Compounds. The directions for application<br />

and use of types I through type VI materials can be found<br />

in Chapter 5 of <strong>TO</strong> 1-1-691.<br />

11.13.3.2.2 A-A-59260 (MIL-C-14460, Type I) Corrosion<br />

Removing Compound, Sodium Hydroxide <strong>Base</strong>; for<br />

Electrolytic or Immersion Application. This is a highly<br />

alkaline chemical corrosion/rust removing compound suitable<br />

for rust removal by immersion of the parts in the solution. It<br />

doesn't cause dimensional change of critical or machined surfaces,<br />

and it is safe to use on high strength steels as it will not<br />

cause hydrogen embrittlement. It can be used on small parts<br />

with or without paint, grease, or other surface coatings. The<br />

directions for application and use of these materials can be<br />

found in Chapter 5 of <strong>TO</strong> 1-1-691.<br />

11.13.4 Stainless Steel (CRES) and Nickel <strong>Base</strong>d<br />

Alloys. The following paragraphs outline chemical corrosion<br />

removal procedures for stainless steel (CRES) and nickel<br />

based alloy parts and assemblies. Table 11-5 provides procedures<br />

for removing specific types of corrosion. Chemical corrosion<br />

removal is recommended for severely corroded areas<br />
