Photograph 2:

Polished and unetched micrograph showing fine carbide particles evenly distributed in the matrix. No cracking or decarburization at the surface were observed. (~1,170X Mag.)

Photograph 3:

Etched photomicrograph showing uniform fine microstructure throughout the specimen. (~1,170X Mag.)

Photograph 4:

Higher magnification view of the etched microstructure. Chromium or vanadium carbide precipitates are shown in a matrix of tempered martensite. (~4,380X Mag.)
