I wonder if you're familiar with an air tool called a needle scaler.  it has
9 or 10 small rods protruding out one end that act like mini jack hammers.
It removes scale and rust down to the basic metal where a thin coating of
rust will be left that can be gotten with a wire brush.

Harbor Freight has them for $49.95, on sale at the moment.  It makes an
unbelievable racket, so you must wear ear protection, but it works.
