The longitudinal section of the shaft, at the surface, also shows a coarse structure, and a ferritic/bainitic structure with pearlite islands. There is only a small refining in the previous austenite grain boundaries, indicating that the material was not heat treated.

Non Qualified Superduplex for Subsea
M - Super Duplex Stainless SteelP - BarAp - Oil and GasCd - Not according to spec
Cm - NaOH Electrolytic Etched MicroDf - Transverse Section
Micrography of a longitudinal section of the forged bar in the center of the thickness. Ferrite and austenite. The average austenite spacing is 80 microns, a lot larger than the maximum allowed in the specification, of 30 microns. No detrimental phases were identified at the ferrite/austenite interfaces, but the ferrite phase presented a rough aspect. Higher magnification analysis would be required to identify precipitation.
