Druu Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 02/28/2017 11:07 am I don't know. I'm inclined to think lamination flaw. If it was PMD, where is the shifted material? Can you post a picture of the reverse? You could gentle try poking the rightmost edge of the area to see if it's a flake. Report this Post to the Staff

There are striations that are basically perpendicular to the line of missing metal in the area thst is missing. This is an indicator for lams. The area on the right is a retained lam Report this Post to the Staff
