Low carbon steel with a microstructure consisting mostly of ferrite with the<br />

darker pearlite regions around the ferrite grains. Upon cooling the steel the<br />

ferrite forms initially, either on austenite grain boundaries or inclusions. This<br />

causes carbon to be partitioned into the austenite. Eventually the remaining<br />

austenite will be at the eutectoid condition and the transformation to pearlite<br />

will then take place. This sample has been normalised, removing the<br />

directionality caused by casting<br />
