German term

in Lösung gehen

German to English Tech/Engineering Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng metal coating process using ion exchange
Hi, I am not convinced that "dissolve" is the right translation for "in Lösung gehen" in the following case:
"Beim Ionenaustauschverfahren werden Ionen eines edleren Metalls, die sich in der Lösung befinden, auf der Oberfläche eines unedleren Metalls reduziert und folglich auf der Bauteiloberfläche abgeschieden. Ionen des Grundmetalls gehen dafür in Lösung. Ist die Oberfläche vollständig mit Ionen des edleren Metalls bedeckt, können die Ionen des Grundmetalls nicht mehr in Lösung gehen."

I am translating a further education text book on the treatment of metals, and would be grateful for input from members with knowledge of chemistry!
Thanks.
