Pipe - Ingot defects
Figure 1: This 2 3/4-in.-diam bar of high-carbon, high-chromium steel shows
the appearance of a center void
known as pipe. This defect is
caused by shrinkage which occurs
during solidification of the ingot.
The use of defective steel, such as
the pipe and forge burst illustrated,
leads to premature tool failure.
