The Austenite to ferrite / cementite transformation in relation to Fe-C diagram Hypo-eutectoid steels: Steels having less than 0.8% carbon are called hypo-eutectoid steels (hypo means less than). Consider the cooling of a typical hypo-eutectoid alloy along line y-y‘. At high temperatures the material is entirely austenite. Upon cooling it enters a region where the stable phases are ferrite and austenite. The low-carbon ferrite nucleates and grows, leaving the remaining austenite richer in carbon. The Austenite to ferrite / cementite transformation in relation to Fe-C diagram Hypo-eutectoid steels- At 723°C, the remaining austenite will have assumed the eutectoid composition (0.8% carbon), and further cooling transforms it to pearlite. The resulting structure, is a mixture of primary or pro-eutectoid ferrite (ferrite that forms before the eutectoid reaction) and regions of pearlite. The Austenite to ferrite / cementite transformation in relation to Fe-C diagram Hyper-eutectoid steels (hyper means greater than) are those that contain more than the eutectoid amount of Carbon. When such a steel cools, as along line z-z , the process is similar to the hypo-eutectoid steel, except that the primary or pro-eutectoid phase is now cementite instead of ferrite. The Austenite to ferrite / cementite transformation in relation to Fe-C diagram As the carbon-rich phase nucleates and grows, the remaining austenite decreases in carbon content, again reaching the eutectoid composition at 723°C. This austenite transforms to pearlite upon slow cooling through the eutectoid temperature. The resulting structure consists of primary cementite and pearlite. The continuous network of primary cementite will cause the material to be extremely brittle.
