This is a hypereutectoid alloy and illustrates the effect of slow cooling rate on<br />

the resultant microstructure. The first phase to form from the melt is<br />

proeutectoid cementite. With slow cooling, furnace cooled, allotriomorph<br />

cementite forms on the prior austenite grain boundaries, rejecting iron into the<br />

melt. At the eutectoid composition the remaining austenite transforms to<br />

pearlite.
