ML00152 — Low Alloy Steel Pump ShaftM - High Strength Low AlloyP - ShaftAp - Oil and GasCd - Removed From Service
The coarse structure in the center of the shaft thickness is evidenced by free ferrite islands at the previous austenite grains. The presence of a pearlitic structure evidences the slow cool of the material.

Cm - Nital Etched Micrography by OMDf - Coarse Structure
The longitudinal section of the shaft, at the surface, also shows a coarse structure, and a ferritic/bainitic structure with pearlite islands. There is only a small refining in the previous austenite grain boundaries, indicating that the material was not heat treated.
