Cementite and Pearlite
What degrees approx is lower critical point
723 °C
What degrees approx is Upper critical point
850 °C
In Low Carbon Steel what happens at LCP and UCP
At 723 °C Austenite and Ferrite
At 850 °C Austenite
In High Carbon Steel what happens at LCP and UCP
At 723 °C Austenite and Cementite
At 850 °C Austenite
What happens at Eutectoid Point
All Pearlite becomes Austenite
UCP and LCP converge
What does Annealing do
Makes steel more malleable and softer
What does Normalising do
Removes internal stress
What °C does normalising take place
50 °C above UCP
What is cooled faster normalising or annealing
Normalising
What is Martensite
Hardest structure of plain Steel
Must be above 0.4% carbon
What does Tempering do
Reduces Brittleness caused from Hardening
Tempering below 200 °C
Removes stresses
Tempering above 220 °C
Less hardness higher toughness
Martensite back to pearlite
