Cm - Nital Etched Micrography by OMDf - Base Metal
Detail of the microstructure in the center of the plate, in the longitudinal section. The ferritic structure is refined and presents different grain sizes. Carbides are presented in different morphologies (perlite, precipitated) and there are probably microphases (aligned in a central segregation line).
