The lower critical temperature
A
Decreases as the carbon content in steel increases
B
Increases as the carbon content in steel increases
C
Is same for all steels
D
Depends upon the rate of heating
Correct Answer: Is same for all steels
The lower critical temperature is same for all steels.Lower critical temperature for steel’s austenite-to-pearlite transformation is 1333°Fahrenheit (723°Celsius). Below this temperature, austentite doesn’t exist.
