Cm - Nital Etched Micrography by OMDf - Ferrite and Pearlite
Micrographic detail of a transverse section of the 5 mm thick tubing, in the center of the thickness. Ferritic-pearlitic structure, with the pearlite presenting a coalesced aspect. The tubing was in service at ambient temperature, painted, and the coalesced aspect was generated before service, perhaps during the tubing manufacturing.

Cm - Nital Etched Micrography by OMDf - Close to the External Surface
Micrographic detail of a transverse section of the tubing, close to the internal surface. Ferritic-pearlitic structure. Very close to the surface the amount of ferrite is higher than in the center and the grain is coarser, due to a decarburization effect probably occurred when the surface was exposed to high temperature during manufacturing.
