Notes:
Color etching is a widely used technique for visualizing different phases in metallicmaterials. Its advantage to the traditional etching techniques is that it gives additional informationwithin one phase, namely, the color shade of a given phase can change in a certain range. Thispaper demonstrates that, due to the physics of the color etching, the shade of a phase also dependson the crystallographic orientation of the investigated grain. As a test material, spheroidal graphitecast iron was used, and individual grain orientation was identified by automated electron backscattering diffraction (EBSD). Results showed that there is a strong correlation between grainorientation and the shades obtained by color etching
