Micro-structural analysis of a grey cast iron self-ventilating brake disc.
The images show the presence of lamellar graphite (black colored, in the low magnification image) and a perlitic micro-structure (in the high magnification image with Nital 2% chemical etchant).

100X magnification – lamellar graphite (black colored)

1000X magnification – Nital 2% chemical etchant – perlitic micro-structure
