Numeric designation1.7076
Chemical designation32CrB4
State+Q Prior austenite grain boundaries
EtchingPAG QT²

The NOT tempered screw material (tetragonal martensite) was successfully etched onto former austenite grain boundaries using “PAG QT²”. The black coating is briefly removed on a stationary, wet OPS disk (ChemTec).

Parameters:

  • Etchant PAG QT² (made by Schmitz)
  • 3+3 min (picture 1)
