1.7225 | 42CrMo4 former austenite grain boundaries

Numeric designation1.7225
Chemical designation42CrMo4
Stateformer austenite grain boundaries
EtchingBechet-Beaujard

The micrographs show the former austenite grain boundaries etched after Bechet-Beaujard 30 min at 50 °C. After etching, the surface of the sample was polished with OPS for approx. 15-20 sec. Etching time and temperature may vary and depend on composition and heat treatment condition.
