When alloy and tool steel bars are rolled and subsequently run out onto a bed or tablefor cooling, stresses may be set up due to uneven cooling which can be severe enough to crack the bars.Such cracks are generally longitudinal, but not necessarily straight. They may be quite long, andusually vary in depth along their length. Figure 3-56 shows the magnetic particle indications of such acrack, and also sections through the crack at three points to illustrate the variation in crack depth. Themagnetic particle indication varies in intensity, being heavier at points where the crack is deepest.(a) Surface Indications.(b) Cross-Section Showing Depth.Figure 3-56.
