Hi Bev - I am not a big advocate of the use of a spot test for metal/finish identification with all of the wonderful tools available today but then again I still have my trusty magnet and a pink pearl eraser in a handy location. Try getting a copy of this: DOD-HDBK-249A Metals and Alloys, Rapid On-site Identification of It contains a large list of chemistries and the associated procedures, flow diagrams for chemical spot testing. Have fun.

Does anyone know of an IPC, EIA, Mil Spec., etc document that would contain the same? I looked in IPC TM-650, but didn't see one, but that doesn't mean it isn't there. Any help would be appreciated.
