Etching Steel with Muriatic Acid and Hydrogen Peroxide
"Etching Steel with Hydrochloric Acid and Hydrogen Peroxide"
Now there is a way to etch steel, using hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid) and hydrogen peroxide (hydrogen peroxide). Hydrochloric acid, strong in nature, has the ability to etch; hydrogen peroxide, also has the effect of oxidation. The combination of the two can be a good recipe for etching steel.
Prepare the steel first, clean the surface, remove oil and dust, and make the surface clean before etching. Take an appropriate amount of hydrochloric acid, pour it into the container, and slowly add hydrogen peroxide. During this period, you need to be careful, because the two are mixed, or it may cause severe melting. When mixed evenly, immerse the steel in this liquid, or apply a brush to the surface of the steel.
When etching, the liquid meets the steel, and the melting should take place immediately. Hydrochloric acid interacts with iron, and iron gradually dissolves; hydrogen peroxide helps it to react, accelerating the oxidation and dissolution of iron. Pay attention to the degree of etching. If it is leached for a long time, the steel will be over-etched and its shape will be damaged; if it is short, the etching will not be sufficient and the expected effect will not be achieved.
Observe the etching process, take out the steel in a timely manner, rinse it with water, and observe its etching state. If it is not suitable, it can be re-etched until a satisfactory etching effect is obtained. Finally, properly dispose of the etching liquid, because it is corrosive, it should not be discarded at will, so as not to pollute the environment. This method of etching steel with hydrochloric acid and hydrogen peroxide is also followed, and good results can be obtained.
