CONT

Confirm the austenitic steel test by dissolving 10 grams of cupric chloride ... in 100 cubic centimeters of HCL [hydrochloric acid] and placing a drop of the solution on a fresh spot. After 2 minutes, add three or four drops of distilled water to the drop of HCL solution and dry the surface. The appearance of a brown spot identifies the metal as an austenitic steel.

OBS

Austenitic steels [are] steels containing high percentages of certain alloying elements such as manganese and nickel which are austenitic at room temperature and cannot be hardened by normal heat-treatment but do work harden. They are also non-magnetic. Typical examples of austenitic steels include the 18/8 stainless steels and 14% manganese steel.
