The macrography shows the longitudinal section of the allen bolt, 1/2" nominal diameter, that was machined from a heat treated bar (solution annealed and aged). The granular structure presents differences in the grain sizes. At the bolt head (external surface of the original bar) the austenitic grain size is larger than in the center of the bar where the particles in segregated bands "arrested" the grains during hot forming and solution annealing.

The fork scoop is about 53 wide and there is a transition to the handle that is 9mm wide. Exactly at that transition the fork was cut in a longitudinal section and the profile is shown in this figure. The thickness is 1mm and the curvatures of the scoop and handle are in different directions, 3mm depth concave in the handle and 10 mm depth convex in the scoop.
