Abstract
Process for improving the stability of aqueous solutions containing hydrogen peroxide, metal ions and hydrofluoric acid which can be partially in the form of salts, comprising adding to the said solution at least one hydroxide selected from alkali metal hydroxides, ammonium hydroxide, or mixtures thereof in an amount which is insufficient to neutralize all the acidity present. The resultant novel stabilized solutions according to the invention are used in the surface treatment of metals especially of stainless steels.
