Caustic soda &water, when I worked for Cummins Overhaul facility in the late 70's we had different tanks with separate "recipes" for cast, steel & aluminum. Cast parts usually soaked for at least 12 to 18 hours. Once the parts were removed using a small overhead crane, as the parts were placed onto fabricated steel mesh racks, and washed with very hot pressurized soap & water. No rust, paint, or any oil residue was left on the parts.
We had to wear protective clothing , facemask, gloves & rain gear to keep any residue off our skin, believe me, you only did that one ONCE, by the time you felt the burn it was too late, you could seriously scar your skin if you did not neutralize, and wash it off immediately
The tanks were hot enough to steam constantly & had a circulating pump in each one. Once or twice a year they were all drained and the sediment (yuck) was cleaned out.
