Cm - Transverse Section AspectDf - Casting Structure
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.

Micrographic detail of a longitudinal section of the bolt, in the center of the thickness (ND 1/2"). Although the material was hardened by heat treatment (solution annealing and aging), the microstructure observed by optical microscopy does not reveal the intragranular precipitation.

Cm - Kalling Etched MacroDf - Austenite
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.
