Hydrogen Peroxide in finishing process

I have read a formula for electrograining aluminum that use peroxide as an additive, can anyone tell me what function of the peroxide in a electrograining process (etching aluminum with an AC current and diluted HCl)? Would the peroxide precipitate the dissolved aluminum ion?
