Cm - NaOH Electrolytic Etched MicroDf - Transverse Section
Micrography, as polished, of the transverse section of the forged pin with the layer applied by a (thermal) spray and fuse process. The layer presented entrapped pores and globular oxides. It was melted after application by thermal spray (in this case using a flame) but the pin was not heat treated after the full application and melting of the layer and the base metal is ferritc-pearlitic.
