Surface Hardened Carbon Steel Wheel
M - High Carbon SteelP - WheelAp - TransportationCd - Removed From Service
Cm - Nital Etched Micrography by OMDf - Coarse Structure
The coarse structure in the center of the shaft thickness is evidenced by free ferrite islands at the previous austenite grains. The presence of a pearlitic structure evidences the slow cool of the material.
