A 0.25% C hypoeutectoid plain-carbon steel is slowly cooled from 950°C to a temperature just slightly below 723°C.(a) Calculate the weight percent proeutectoid ferrite in the steel.(b) Calculate the weight percent eutectoid ferrite and weight percent eutectoid cementite in the steel.
A 609 g eutectoid steel ( about 0.8%C) is heated to 1,002 C and cooled slowly through the eutectorid temperature. This results in the formation of cementite Fe3C (6.67%C) and ferrite (0.025%C). Calculate the number of grams of cementite that form in the steel.
