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.
