A modification to picric acid solutions has been undertaken to reveal the prior-austenite grain boundaries in microalloyed steels as a result of elemental segregation. It has been found the maximum addition of sodium dodecyl sulphate plus hydrochloric acid to fully reveal both the prior austenite grain boundaries and the final post-processed structures in these steels.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
