A steel, possessing an eutectoid composition, undergoes a gradual cooling process from 800°C to 600°C. Outline the transformation, equilibrium microstructure, and provide approximate component proportions. Describe the resultant non-equilibrium microstructure in two scenarios: a) the steel is rapidly cooled from 800°C to 600°C within 1 s, and then held at such temperature; b) the steel is rapidly cooled from 800°C to 600°C within 1 s, maintained at this temperature for 5 s, and subsequently quenched to room temperature. Use the provided diagrams. Temperature (°C) 1600 1538°C 1493°C 1400 L 1394°C Y+L 1200- 1147°C 2.14 Y.
