A material with the large grain size is normally
Ductile
The point at which ferritin iron starts to change to Austenitic during the heating cycle is known as the blank transformation temperature
Lower
Ferrite are normally has _______ then Martensitic iron
Ductility
Structure of iron at room temperature that contains 6.67% carbon. Assume that this metal has never been heat treated.
Cementite
Name the structure of a solid solution of steel at room temperature that contains 0.8% carbon. Assume that this steel has never been heat treated.
Pearlite
Approximately how much carbon is in a sample of pure pearlite?
0.8%
What is austenite?
Steel that occurs only at elevated temperatures
What structural change occurs when steel is slowly cooled from a high temperature to room temperature?
It changes from face-centered cubic back to body-centered cubic.
Of the following types of iron-carbon, which is the hardest: Austenite, Cementite, Ferrite, and Martensite?
Martensite
