2.4879 | G-NiCr28W Furnace Roll

Numeric designation2.4879
Chemical designationG-NiCr28W
StateFurnace Roll
EtchingKalling 2

After a failure, the furnace roll was probably overheated locally, at temperatures unknown. The interdendritic Cr-rich M23C6 carbides are partially rounded, and tiny secondary carbides have precipitated locally. How the eutectic-looking microstructure zones have formed is yet unknown.
