Figure 3. Examples of exponential fits to a measured P(L) curve. The blue curve is a fit to the<br />

lower half of the data (0 < L < 27 microns). The red curve is a fit to the upper half of the data (27 <<br />

L < 54 microns).<br />

Figure 4. Comparisons of average grain diameters in the X and Y directions of the micrographs<br />

using the Mean Chord Length Method. Results are shown <strong>for</strong> analyses of 12 micrographs <strong>for</strong> each<br />

of 4 billet “strips”. The right-hand panel is a blow-up of the small diameter region where the IN718<br />

values lie.<br />
