I'm working with mild steel how do i stop flash rusting? is there something i can add to wash water?

Aquaklean, a water-based cleaner, made by KBS Coatings is enhanced with an oxygen-block formula that reduces the incidence of flash rust . The metal prep Rustblast is also enhanced with that formula too.I'm working with mild steel how do i stop flash rusting? is there something i can add to wash water?
Mercury. But at great risk to your health.I'm working with mild steel how do i stop flash rusting? is there something i can add to wash water?
paint it or a light coaring of oil
if you are welding the metal, i wouldnt use iol or wd-40.....u might get hydrogen inclusions. use some anti splatter spray
keep the air/water away from the metal...try a coat of oil or rustolium paint...even a clear coat from them will work nice.
WD-40. The object is to keep the iron atoms from reacting with oxygen, creating rust. Any thin oil will prevent this.
i've heard baking soda, .... may be a bunch of hooey!
