| Numeric designation | 1.3242 |
|---|---|
| Chemical designation | HS6-5-2-5 |
| State | +Q Hardened (not tempered) |
| Etching | 3% Nital |
The micrographs show a high-speed steel produced by powder metallurgy after hardening (+Q). This was not tempered. The microstructure is very fine-grained with typical carbide precipitations.
The etching time with 3% Nital was 20 min.
