Stainless steel shows a great resistance against corrosion, stain, and rust. This beneficial aspect provides its wide use in a number of fields. The production process requires a scaling process commonly with (H2SO4, HCl)/HF/H2O2 scaling acids. Among these scaling acids, hydrofluoric acid (HF) is the most conventionally applied acid. However, HF is a corrosive, a ‘high-risk’ contact poison, and environmentally harmful. Thus, development of the alternative-scaling product is an inevitable factor. As prospective scaling acids, NaF, NH4HF2, NH4F, and H2SiF6 were discreetly selected and applied on 303F stainless steel.
