Nitric acid 10%
Nitric acid 10% is a ready-to-use solution suitable for various applications in metallography and scientific laboratories. The solution can be used as a decalcifying solution in histology and cytology, but the primary application is as a macro etchant for ferritic welded joints (steel and cast steel), as a deep etchant, for detection of cracks and for grain surface etching on Cu alloys in materialography.
Chemically, nitric acid is HNO3, a strong inorganic acid that acts as a solvent when combined with water. The reaction of this acid with metals leads to the release of hydrogen gas and forms nitrates, which can alter or corrode the material.
Because of its chemical properties and reactivity, nitric acid 10% allows the study of surface structures and materialographic properties of various alloys and compounds. The application of this solution can lead to the identification of cracks, grain structures or irregularities in a sample, among other things.
