How to etch Evanohm? (High Chromium Alloy )

2002

Hi everyone,

Can anyone help me? I am trying to etch a high chromium alloy called Evanohm which contained 20% Chromium, 2.8% Aluminum, 2.0% Copper, 1% Silicon, 0.9% Manganese and 0.08% Zirconium. Anyone can suggest any etching method to me, I already tried ferric chloride ⇦ on eBay or Amazon [affil link] with high HCl, but the surface became very rough.

Thanks You so much, hope someone can help me.
