a) The figure below shows three equilibrium structures that occur in an iron-carbon alloy, rank these from hardest to softest. b) The microstructure of an iron-carbon alloy consists of proeutectoid ferrite and pearlite. Relative mass to proeutectoid ferrite is 0.2 and pearlite is 0.80. How much carbon does this alloy contain?
