Experimental results revealed that the banded defectsBanded defects exhibited increasing contrast, width, and interfaceInterface clarity from the surface toward the center of the plate. The banded defectsBanded defects consisted of granular bainite and M/A islands, contrasting with the surrounding ferrite-pearlite matrix. This microstructural heterogeneity originated from severe positive segregation of alloying elements (C, Mn, Cr, Mo) within the banded regions, significantly increasing the hardness variability in the thickness direction of the rolled plate.
