Micrography of the tranverse section of the tube, in the center of the thickness. There are small grains and large grains, characterizing a dual grain size. The large grains size is about 100 microns, more than 10 times larger than the average size of the smaller grains size.

Cm - FeCl3+HCl+H2O Etched MicroDf - Dual grain sizes
The micrography of a longitudinal section, at the bolt head close to the surface of the original bar. In this region the material increased the grain size due to the lack of particles (inclusions), to "arrest" the grain boundaries (during hot forming and solution annealing). The smaller grain size is located in the center of the bar, that concentrated the inclusions.
