You've got some spare 1050 steel that you decide to use to make a hand tool using your friend's forge. You've pulled the T-T-T diagram below from literature. (F, P, B, M represent ferrite, pearlite, bainite, and martensite respectively, where subscript "s" indicates the start of a transformation and subscript “f”” indicates the finish): a) What is the nominal carbon content in the steel? b) What temperature must be reached to completely austenitize the material? c) What is the proeutectoid phase? d) If you cool to 625°C and hold for 1000s, how much proeutectoid phase would be present (ignoring any impurities other than carbon)? e) Cutting tools are often hardened via rapid quenching, then tempered to give the desired balance of hardness and toughness.

Transcribed Image Text:You've got some spare 1050 steel that you decide to use to make a hand tool using your friend's
forge. You've pulled the T-T-T diagram below from literature. (F, P, B, M represent ferrite,
pearlite, bainite, and martensite respectively, where subscript "s" indicates the start of a
transformation and subscript "f" indicates the finish):
a) What is the nominal carbon content in the steel?
b) What temperature must be reached to completely austenitize the material?
c) What is the proeutectoid phase?
d) If you cool to 625°C and hold for 1000s, how much proeutectoid phase would be present
(ignoring any impurities other than carbon)?
e)
Cutting tools are often hardened via rapid quenching, then tempered to give the desired
balance of hardness and toughness. Sketch and describe the resulting microstructure
(include labels for all the microconstituents), and illustrate the heat treatment on the
T-T-T diagram.
