What is the role of electrolytic rust removal chemistry in the process of restoring metal objects?

Electrolytic rust removal chemistry is a method used in restoring metal objects by using an electric current to remove rust. This process involves immersing the metal object in an electrolyte solution and applying a direct current, which causes the rust to transfer from the object to a sacrificial anode. This helps to effectively clean and restore the metal object without causing damage to its surface.
