Mikestang Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 You can measure the band width of the kamacite and taenite phases, note any inclusions that may be more common in one iron over the other, and just the general overall appearance of the W. Pattern (i.e. compare slices to photos of known origin and look for visual similarities). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
