Quiz<br />

1) See the figure below for possible solutions. The thought process behind<br />

these is as follows:<br />

a) 100% coarse pearlite: We want to keep the temperature above the nose of<br />

the IT curve in order for the diffusion process to allow larger growth of the<br />

eutectoid (pearlite) structure.<br />

b) 100% tempered martensite: We want first to form 100% martensite, which<br />

would be by cooling rapidly enough to miss the nose of the IT curve, and to<br />

pass completely through the Mf temperature. Then perform a tempering heat<br />

treatment at low temperatures for a short (1 hour) period of time.
