BEST PICKLING SOLUTION FOR STAINLESS
STEEL/TITANIUM ALLOYS
+
We are manufacturers of Stainless Steel products. We are facing
problem in pickling titanium alloys. Please suggest us the best
method of pickling Stainless Steel as well as titanium products. We
are currently using a mixture of HNO3:HF in the ratio of 1:3. I have
read ammonium bifluoride is also used. How could I make the solution
of ammonium bifluoride powder? Do I have to mix H2SO4/HF/HNO3 with
it?
Thanks,

I believe that a 0.15 lb/gal solution of ammonium bifluoride could
be used.

I am trying to prep the surface of Titanium CP1 for a coating . .
. and grinding just is not doing it. I was wondering if there was any
way I could corrode or pit the surface of the titanium sheets so they
would hold a coating better?
