Anodic etching non-destructive testing method
Anodic etching is both a chemical process and a non-destructive testing (NDT) method that is deployed for inspection to detect grain structure, grain size, inclusions, surface breaking defects, and segregation problems such as white spots. It also serves the purpose of removing interfering material as a preparation for subsequent Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection (FPI) for stainless steels and nickel based materials.
