ML00089 — Inconel 718 Allen Bolt for Subsea ApplicationM - NiCrFe AlloyP - Machined PartAp - SubseaCd - Typical manufacturing
The micrography of a longitudinal section of the bolt, in the center of the thickness (ND 1/2"), shows an equiaxial granular structure. Although the material was hardened by heat treatment (solution annealing and aging), the microstructure at this magnification does not reveal the intragranular precipitation.
