Alcohol (chemistry)
In chemistry, an alcohol is a type of organic compound that carries at least one hydroxyl functional group bound to carbon.
See Nital and Alcohol (chemistry)
Carbon steel
Carbon steel is a steel with carbon content from about 0.05 up to 2.1 percent by weight.
Chemical milling
Chemical milling or industrial etching is the subtractive manufacturing process of using baths of temperature-regulated etching chemicals to remove material to create an object with the desired shape. Nital and chemical milling are etching.
See Nital and Chemical milling
Ethanol
Ethanol (also called ethyl alcohol, grain alcohol, drinking alcohol, or simply alcohol) is an organic compound with the chemical formula.
Ethyl nitrate
Ethyl nitrate is the ethyl ester of nitric acid and has the chemical formula.
A metal is a material that, when polished or fractured, shows a lustrous appearance, and conducts electricity and heat relatively well.
See Nital and Metal
Methanol
Methanol (also called methyl alcohol and wood spirit, amongst other names) is an organic chemical compound and the simplest aliphatic alcohol, with the chemical formula (a methyl group linked to a hydroxyl group, often abbreviated as MeOH).
Microstructure
Microstructure is the very small scale structure of a material, defined as the structure of a prepared surface of material as revealed by an optical microscope above 25× magnification.
Nitric acid
Nitric acid is the inorganic compound with the formula.
