DFX09

There are equiaxed crystals and twins in the structure. The inclusions and lead particles are elongated indicating the processing direction; the structure overall is hot forged

 

DFX13

Equiaxed and twinning grains, inclusions, and lead particles are elongated along the processing direction and are hot forged. Lead particles are elongated and the crystals are fine
