Question-5
(a) Describe the structural changes that take place when a 0.4%-C plain-carbon steel is slowly
cooled from the austenitic region just above the upper transformation temperature.
(b) What is a binary eutectic alloy system? Mention all important points. Give some examples.
For the isothermal time-temperature-transformation diagram provided (next page) for an Fe-C steel, answer the following (show any work on the diagram):a. based on the phases depicted, what is the average composition for the Fe-C alloy depicted (be specific). Explain your answer. (Note: you do have the Fe-C phase diagram in your notes and in the text for reference.)b. in an isothermal heat-treatment of a pure austenite structure at 300 C, how long will it take for austenite to be completely converted to bainite after bainite first begins to form?c. A standard size, automobile engine block and a 1 mm diameter rod of the same steel composition are taken from a heat-treatment furnace and immersed in a water bath at the same temperature. Do you expect that the microstructure of both pieces will be the same or different? Justify your answer.d. note that the time required to initiate the transformation of the austenite phase tends to decrease as the isothermal treatment temperature is reduced…
