1.5511 | 35B2 +QT (9.8) Prior austenite grain boundaries

Numeric designation1.5511
Chemical designation35B2
State+QT (9.8) Prior austenite grain boundaries
EtchingPAG HT

The highly tempered and Cr-free screw material was successfully etched onto former austenite grain boundaries using “PAG HT”. The copper precipitate is polished off on a stationary, wet OPS disc (ChemTec). Depending on the alloy, 25% ammonia and a cotton swab are required to remove the copper precipitate.

Parameters:

  • Etchant PAG HT (made by Schmitz)
  • 3 min
  • room temperature
