Cm - Keller Etched Micrography by OMDf - Hypoeutetic
Micrography of the plate in a section, in the middle of the thickness. The aligned pitting is associated to the chemical etch of inclusions and second phases. The structure is granular but the grain boundaries do not appear at that magnification, originally 50x.

Micrography of the cast rim, base metal, showing the dendrites of alpha aluminum and interdendritic eutectic Si/alpha, silicon particles in a coalesced condition that suggests a solution annealed treatment. After etching it is possible to identify a transgranular precipitation (aging) and a dark FeSiAl phase (neddles).
