Learn about Alexander Kazakov’s study to improve the assessment of banding segregation in steels by creating a new banding ratio which is being added to ASTM E1268. He presents his details on this new ratio that is now a more sensitive index. Kazakov is a member of ASTM Committee E04 on Metallography.
