1.7225 | 42CrMo4 +I, intermediate-stage heat-treated

Numeric designation1.7225
Chemical designation42CrMo4
Stateintermediate-stage heat-treated
Etching3% Nital und PAG QT²

The microstructural images show the 42CrMo4 following isothermal hardening. A bainitic microstructure is present.

The hardness is 446 HV 10.

The etching to reveal the former austenite grain size using our PAG QT² worked very well.
