Mélange d’acide nitrique et d’acide chlorhydrique, qui dissout l’or et le platine. 7, record 1, French, - acide%20nitrochlorhydrique
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
On avait très anciennement remarqué qu’en mêlant ensemble de l’acide muriatique et de l’acide nitrique il en résultait un acide mixte, qui avait des propriétés fort différentes de celles des deux acides dont il était composé. Cet acide a été célèbre par la propriété qu’il a de dissoudre l’or, le «roi des métaux» dans le langage alchimique, et c’est de là que lui a été donnée la qualification brillante d’eau régale. Cet acide mixte [...] a des propriétés particulières dépendantes de l’action combinée de ses deux bases acidifiables, et nous avons cru, par cette raison, devoir lui conserver un nom particulier. Celui d’acide nitro-muriatique nous a paru le plus convenable. 8, record 1, French, - acide%20nitrochlorhydrique

Traitement auquel est soumise la surface convenablement préparée d’un échantillon métallique et qui permet de mettre en évidence des détails structuraux. Il consiste en une attaque préférentielle par voie chimique ou électrolytique de certains constituants de la microstructure, et peut être réalisé soit en vue d’une observation macroscopique ou macrographique (ségrégations, fissures, porosités, morphologie des grains), soit en vue d’une analyse microscopique ou micrographique (détails de la microstructure : nature, morphologie, répartition des phases). 1, record 2, French, - attaque%20m%C3%A9tallographique
