RE: Specification on the Freckles in the macrostructure of steel ingots
Actually i have made macroetching of an ingot. I can not send the picture (confidential) i have small freckles but i don't know what is the right standard ?
For exemple here a macro etchning picture of a 35 tons ingot with freckles extracted from a book.
Is there any numeric criteria to accept or not the ingot related to the freckles ?
