Suppose that a steel of eutectoid composition is cooled to 675°C (1250°F) from 760°C (1400°F) in less than 0.5 s and held at this temperature. (a) How long will it take for the austenite-topearlite reaction to go to 50% completion? To 100% completion? (b) Estimate the hardness of the alloy that has completely transformed to pearlite.
