Homeworks
• If everyone agrees, homeworks will be in
the lab on a bench in alphabetical groups.
• Placed there this lunchtime so can be
collected after 1.00pm
• Exam
• Multiple Choice – eg how does sodium
and chlorine bond?
Microstructures and Composition
At eutectic composition, and temp, amount of a = 97.5-61.9/97.5-19.2 = 35.6/78.3= 45%
amount of b = 61.9-19.2/97.5-19.2 = 42.7/78.3= 55%
For 70% Pb 30% Sn, a phase if formed in a+liquid range, called pro eutectic a.
Amount of proeutectic a and eutectic a+b is obtained from inverse lever arm rule
Amount of pro eutectic a = 61.9-30.0/61.9-19.2 =31.9/42.7=0.75=75%
Amount of eutectic a+b = 30.0-19.5/61.9-19.2 = 10.5/42.4 = 0.25 = 25%
The composition of the a will be the same independent of whether it is pro eutectic or
eutectic at 80.8%Pb 19.2% Sn.

Equiaxed Single Phase Grain Structure
Iron Carbon (Fe3C) Phase Diagram
Primary solid solubility
in a is 0.022wt% C, for
is 2.14 wt% C.
Eutectoid reaction is
important for steels.
> a + Fe3C at 727C.
At 726C , a 99.978%Fe
0.022%C
Fe3C 93.3%C
6.7%C
Fe3C is a compound and
a Metastable phase, not
an equilibrium phase, but
stable unless thermally
changed.
Eutectoid composition
Is Fe 99.24%, C 0.76%
Eutectoid Composition
At 727C Eutecoid Reaction occurrs.
> a + Fe3C
Above 727C all , equiaxed.
Below 727C, a + Fe3C
Amounts of a and Fe3 C given by Inverse Lever
Arm Rule.
Amount of a = 6.7 – 0.76/ 6.7-0.022 = 5.94/6.678
= 0.89 = 89% a
Amount of Fe3C = 0.76- 0.022/ 6.7-0.022
= 0.738 / 6.678
= 0.11 = 11% Fe3C
a composition is 99.978%Fe, 0.022 C
Fe3C composition if 93.3%Fe, 6.7%C

Eutectoid
Alternate ferrite and cementite plate structure in Eutectoid steel.
Hypereutecoid Strucutres
Hypereutecoid – more carbon then eutectoid >0.76%
Start in single phase austenite, , range, grains of .
Cool into two phase region, then some transforms
to Fe3C on the existing grain boundaries. Called
“Pro Eutectoid” cementite. composition follows
phase boundary to the eutectiod composition, so at
727C the remaining transforms to pearlite, the mixture
of a + Fe3C. Cementite exists as Pro eutectoid and
eutectoid forms.
Hypoeutectoid Steels
Hypoeutecoid steels – less carbon than eutectoid < 0.76%
Start in single phase austenite, , range, grains of .
Cool into two phase region, then some transforms
to a on the existing grain boundaries. Called
“Pro Eutectiod” ferrite. composition follows
phase boundary to the eutectiod composition, so at
727C the remaining transforms to pearlite, the mixture
of a + Fe3C. Ferrite exists as Pro eutectoid and
eutectoid forms.( Pearlite has narrow plates in this case
of a steel with 0.08%C)
