VI. Defects:
Friction scratches may be caused by an encounter with an
abrasive surface.
Seams are longitudinal crevices that are tight or even closed at the
surface, but are not welded shut. They are close to radial in
orientation and can originate in steelmaking, primary rolling, or on
the bar or rod mill.
Porosity occurs when air is trapped into the metal by the die casting machinery, often leaving
gaps at the top of the die or filling a mold too slowly and having some solidification occur too soon.

Slivers are segments of steel that have been torn from the
steel and rolled onto the surface of the metal. This defect
is most common in low strength steel which can easily tear
due to incorrect or high-speed rolling processes. Slivers
can also start from defects that were not previously
removed by conditioning.
