This book is an outstanding source of etchants of all types, and electrolytic polishing solutions used by metallographers to reveal the structures of nearly any material ever prepared and examined. The introductory text on specimen preparation and theory of etching has been expanded and updated to cover all common procedures as well as some specialized methods. Also included is new information on safety. The new edition has been considerably expanded, with more than twice the content of the previous English edition of this atlas of etching techniques for metals, ceramics, and polymers. The chapter on metallography covers new developments in the metallic groups and the novel material combinations that are used in many fields of high technology.
