Composition

 

10 mL HNO3
100 mL Ethanol (95 %)

Procedure

Etching rate is increased, sensitivity decreased with increased percentage of HNO3.
(a) Immerse few seconds to a minute.
(b) Immerse 5–40 s in 5 % HNO3 solution.
To remove stain, immerse 25 s in 10 % HCl-methanol solution.
(c) For Inconels and Nimonics, use 5 mL HNO3 solution—electrolytic at 5–10 V for 5–20 s.
(d) Swab or immerse several minutes.
(e) Swab 5–60 s.
HNO3 may be increased to 30 mL in methanol only depending on alloy.
(Ethanol is unstable with over 5 % HNO3.
