Micrographic detail a longitudinal section of the pin, at the surface, showing the case hardened. The pin carburized, quenched and tempered structure presents a gradient of carbon content and consequently a gradient of martensitic structure and hardness. Close to the surface the hardness level is 742 HV1 .
