Cm - Surface AspectDf - Internal Surface
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
Micrographic detail of the alpha microstructure presenting dual grain sizes. Two different types of twins are presented in the structure: annealing twins and deformation twins, suggesting that the material was probably partially recristalized after cold deformation and stress relief treatment.
