Continuous Cooling Transformation (CCT) Diagram for Steel
1. If a sample of austenite is cooled from 760°C to room temperature at a rate of 85°C/s (midway
between the red and blue dotted lines), estimate the following values:
a) How much time would it take for pearlite to begin forming and at what temperature would this
occur?
b) How much time would it take for martensite to begin forming and at what temperature would
this occur?
