High-temperature austenite, an FCC structure, has enough space for carbon ... Others alter or reduce the grain size or their pattern, giving the alloy more strength or toughness.

The formation of ferrite and iron carbide will start at the austenite grain boundaries and the final pearlite microstructure ... the austenite and the pearlite determines its lamella structure. The ...

Notice the long disorganized lines revealing very little complexity in grain structure. This is referred to as austenite. Austenite is a solid solution of carbon and iron that is formed during the ...

The critical cooling rate in the hardening of steels is the lowest cooling rate/minimum continuous cooling rate required to form a 100% martensite structure while ... carbon content present in the ...

Ferritic steels have a body-centered-cubic grain structure. Austenitic and other types of stainless steel, however, possess a face-centered grain structure. The body-centered-cubic grain is ...

When the alloy reaches the eutectoid temperature the untransformed austenite undergoes a transformation ... with the hard-brittle proeutectoid cementite on the grain boundaries. This structure makes ...
