Etching3% Nital

This is a cold work steel produced by powder metallurgy in the soft annealed condition. The microstructure consists of carbides in a ferritic matrix. Due to the high proportion of vanadium carbides, this steel is very wear-resistant. The hardness is 252 HV 1.

The average chemical composition is:

  • 2,45 % C
  • 0.90 % Si
  • 0.50 % Mn
  • 5.20 % Cr
  • 1.30 % Mo
  • 9,70 % V

Etched with 3% Nital for 20 s.
