EtchingV2A-Beize @ 70°C und Beraha II

Age-hardenable stainless high-strength magnetisable chromium steel with Ni and Cu addition. The basic structure shown consists of martensite, austenite and ferrite in the solution-annealed condition. Even Beraha II colour etching could not distinguish the individual phases exactly. In the precipitation-hardened state, intermetallic phases are added.
