Abstract
In the process of applying a layer of copper and a layer of zirconium dioxide to the internal surface of a tube of a zirconium-based alloy, with the layer of zirconium dioxide being located between the copper layer and the internal surface of the tube, the tube surface is first treated with an activating solution in the form of an aqueous solution containing from about 1 to about 3 grams/liter of hydrogen fluoride, from about 2 to about 8 grams/liter of ammonium fluoride and from about 0.1 to about 0.5 gram/liter of sulfuric acid, the amounts of hydrogen fluoride and ammonium fluoride being chosen so that the amount of ammonium fluoride, calculated in moles, exceeds the amount of hydrogen fluoride, calculated in moles, by at least 5 percent.
