Microstructural characteristics of sample 34/A. Heat B: (a) quenched and tempered microstructure around crack; segregation bands of darker contrast correspond with the forming direction. (b) Detail of quenched and tempered microstructure consists of bainite, small islands of ferrite, perlite; segregation band of darker contrast is located in the center of the figure. (c) Detail of tempered bainite, ferrite (white islands), perlite (black areas); (d) detail of the microstructure in the segregation band; (e) surroundings of cracks; detail of quenched and tempered microstructure consists of bainite, small white islands of ferrite, black areas of perlite.
