I use an electrolysis bath to remove rust from various cast iron machine parts, and it works great. I even used it to remove rust from a black powder rifle barrel, and it turned a $40 wall hanger in to something useable.

It can take a while to get heavy rust off, but there's just about zero effort involved, and it gets it completely off, even in the deepest of pits.
