Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0505606A1] A process for pickling and passivating stainless steel using a bath of the following initial composition: H2SO4 at least 150 g/l Fe<3><+> at least 15 g/l HF at least 40 g/l stabilized H2O2 1-20 g/l non-ionic surfactants and acid attack inhibitors 1 g/l, into which an air flow and an H2O2 quantity of between 0.3 and 1 g/l per hour, controlled to maintain the bath Redox potential at >/= 350 mV, are fed in continuously.
