Think I'm gonna give that a try. Is the result any different than naval
jelly? As in, is there any black residue?

Yes, there is a residue to be removed, that is the converted rust. Short
(10-15 minutes, as many times as it takes, cleaning off the residue each
time) dipping in hot solution, around 10% avoids the residue bonding to the
steel.

Citric acid (short term dipping, e.g. 30 minutes, check every 10 minutes),
will not take off nickel - unless there is rust underneath the plating.

I'll be interested in this as well, Adam.  I have a Yankee brace that needs
some TLC and I'd like to preserve the plating that remains, but had resigned
myself to just polishing the steel.
