(a) Schematic of the transverse cross section with a dotted square in the shaded area indicating that the processed samples were taken approximately 1 mm from the top surface, while the thick square at the bottom indicates the approximate location of AR microstructure; (b) BSE image of AR material at low and high magnifications, in which arrows highlight primary α and secondary α phase morphologies; (c–e) showcase low and high magnification BSE images of the samples processed at low, medium, and high heat inputs, in which the closed arrows indicate fine globular-type α and the open arrows indicate acicular α-morphology.
