This product is usually used in conjunction with Kroll’s Reagent to reveal the alpha case layer of a titanium alloy. The sample is usually etched with Kroll’s Reagent first, then this solution. The alpha case structure, if present, will appear near the surface as a layer of white grains. The formula is listed in ASTM standard E407 as number 11. Made with ACS reagent grade hydrofluoric acid.
