4. A specimen of hypoeutectoid (meaning composition is below the eutectoid) steel having a
composition of 0.5% C and a mass of 1 kg is slowly cooled from a temperature 850 o
C.
a. If we stop cooling at a temperature just above the eutectoid isotherm, determine the
fractions of the two phases and the total weight of the ferrite \alpha phase in the specimen.
This phase is called proeutectoid (meaning pre- or before eutectoid) ferrite.
b. Next, the specimen is further cooled slowly to room temperature, which transforms
the rest of the austenite into pearlite. Determine the total weight fraction of ferrite and
the total mass of ferrite in the specimen at room temperature.
c. The weight fraction of protoeutectoid ferrite (part a) is not affected by the additional
cooling to room temperature. Calculate the weight fraction of the total specimen that
is eutectoid ferrite at room temperature
