The optimization of the etching process parameters in high chromium cast irons (HCCI) for general microstructural observation, eutectic and secondary carbide quantification and 3D analysis of the carbide network is indispensable for further microstructure-properties correlation. The main aim of the current work is to evaluate the efficacy of certain etchants to aid in ‘objective specific' microstructural characterization of a 26 % Cr HCCI alloy in the as-cast (AC) and heat treated (HT) state. Samples were etched with various solutions, including Vilella's reagent, Nital, Murakami's reagent and its modification, and two other etchants.
