This steel is of the eutectoid composition. Once the temperature is lowered<br />

below the eutectoid temperature the steel becomes simultaneously<br />

supersaturated with both ferrite and cementite. A eutectoid transformation<br />

results (g to a + Fe3C). The resultant microstructure, known as pearlite,<br />

comprises lamellae of cementite (dark) embedded in ferrite (white).<br />
