In my experience, no. There will only be Fe hydroxides, carbonates, oxides, depending on environment and time.
Theoretically it's possible, but very rare or small percentage, for example if Fe has C in it and if you use higher voltage or current density it is
more likely. But practically no, not enough to be smelled or to damage us or environment.
Only possible at microscopic levels. And that sludge is called sol i think, like alum stuff. Can absorb large about of impurities from water. Also I
believe we can make screwdrivers by electrolysis like that. Just isolate parts via duct tape or something which are not supposed to go off. No need
for cutting metal. Could be efficient at least for small screwdrivers, they could be made from wires. Gonna post tutorial one day . |
