Abstract:Various alloys demand customized etchants due to their diverse chemical compositions, particularly in the realm of aluminum alloys. Consequently, this study proposes a technique for metallographic visualization of small grain structures within Al‐Mg‐Zn‐(Cu) crossover alloys. The method relies on a thermal pre‐treatment combined with an etching process. The study primarily seeks to comprehend how grain boundary precipitation affects etchability, addressing the complexities of characterizing these alloys. The de… Show more
