Thank you all for your valuable suggestions. I am not familiar with ASTM E1268 but I will look it up. Thank you again.

Why don't you use ASTM E1268 for assessing the degree of banding within the microstructure? I have not read NADCA #229-2011 standard, but it would be interesting to know if it is similar to the ASTM one.
Thanks,

Subject: Alloy banding
We call out alloy banding and microsegregation acceptance per NADCA #229-2011 in our material specifications for tool steels. Some of our steel suppliers are questioning this saying they never see this call out from their other customers. We are not in the die making industry but we use tool steel widely for our components. Does anyone have any recommendations regarding this? Thank you.
