Hydrogen Peroxide Clean Metal

"On whether hydrogen peroxide can clean metals"

There is a thing in the world, the name is hydrogen peroxide. People often wonder, can it be used to clean metals?

Or: hydrogen peroxide is oxidizing, and in some metals, it can interact with stains and rust on its surface. Such as rust, its main component is iron oxide, hydrogen peroxide can react with it, rust into soluble salts, so as to achieve cleaning effect.

However, it is also said. There are many types of metals with different properties. Active metals, such as potassium, sodium, etc., may react violently when exposed to hydrogen peroxide, not only can they not be cleaned, but the metal will be damaged. And there is a dense oxide film on the surface of some metals. Although it can protect the metal, hydrogen peroxide may not break the film to achieve the purpose of cleaning the inner layer.

Furthermore, the concentration of hydrogen peroxide is also critical. If the concentration is too high, it may exacerbate the corrosion of the metal; if the concentration is too low, the cleaning power will be insufficient.

If you want to clean the metal with hydrogen peroxide, you must carefully observe the characteristics of the metal, the types of stains, and control the concentration of hydrogen peroxide and the method of use, in order to obtain an appropriate cleaning effect and not damage the metal.
