We have a part that requires Hydrofuoric/Nitric acid pickle after finish machining.
1. Are any of you doing this (HF/N) now?
2. What is the procedure for disposing of the HF mixtures? What are the costs?
3. If you send it out for Pickling, what are the costs?
4. What are the safety procedures for handling/Storing HF mixtures?
5. If you store HF, what are the EPA, Fire reporting requirements?
We currently have Sulfuric, and Nitric, and use it very rarely, but familiar with the issues. HF is a different animal, or so I am reading. No need to tell me how bad/scary/dangerous HF is. Like to hear form those of you that are actually working with it.
