    KMnO4 + NaOH
    Why this the combination of the above bath is used for descaling of alloy steels

    You should know that KMnO4 is an oxidising agent. This, in alkaline medium will oxidise all the Fe^2+ formed from rusting to soluble Fe^3+. This soluble Fe^3+ will then react with NaOH to form the insoluble Fe(OH)3. You can now wipe this off, leaving only the Fe metal under.
