The available data on the open-circuit corrosion of metals in anhydrous hydrogen fluoride (AHF), and, on the solubility of metal fluorides in AHF has been analysed with a view to bring out some fundamental factors influencing these processes. It is found that high lattice energies of the fluoride Fd
