By the process of rolling, material of another
material was brought in into the surface of the rod wire. This defect is very rare
and can be aroused by breaking out from parts of the roll fittings, like roles
and blades. One of these pieces has been taken on the rolled piece and has pressed
himself in into the surface, because the defect wasn't immediately noticed. Steel
with 12 % chromium and 2 % carbon (tool steel) was stated at an analysis of the
foreign material.
