    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    CONTAINED IN VOL. 03.01, 2015 Specifies the methods of macroetching metals and alloys to reveal their macrostructure.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    1.1These procedures describe the methods of macroetching metals and alloys to reveal their macrostructure.

    1.2The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.

    1.3This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. For specific warning statements, see 6.2, 7.1, 8.1.3, 8.2.1, 8.8.3, 8.10.1.1, and 8.13.2.
