5.2 Clean the stainless-steel surface to be tested.
5.3 Place one drop of Electrolyte chemical reagent of Molybdenum test kit on the surface of the test material.
5.4 Dip edge of negative charge cell end in the reagent drop and positive charge end on the stainless-steel surface to be tested.
5.5 Start the stop watch and monitor the time.
5.6 If the color of the surface under the reagent drop change to pink or reddish and persistent for more than 50 seconds, then it is considered as SS 316.
5.7 If the color of the surface under reagent drop change to pink or reddish and disappears with in the 15 seconds, then is considered as SS 304.
