Eutectoid/Pearlite steel:

  • A 0.8% carbon steel or eutectoid steel is known as PEARLITE steel.
  • This is much stronger than ferrite or cementite.
  • It is a phase mixture of  ferrite and cementite.
  • It contains ferrite 87% and cementite 13%.

Hypo-eutectoid Steel:

  • Plain carbon steels in which carbon percentage is less than 0.8% are called hypo-eutectoid steel.

Hyper-eutectoid Steel:

  • Plain carbon steels in which carbon percentage is more than 0.8% are called hyper-eutectoid steel.
  • High-Speed Steel is a high carbon tool steel, containing a large dose of tungsten. A typical HSS composition is: 18% tungsten, 4% Chromium, 1% Vanadium, 0.7% carbon and the rest, Iron.
  • Cast irons have a chemical composition of 2.15–6.7% carbon.

Combined carbon content in iron and steel is determined by treating the sample with dilute HNO3. So that combined carbon forms a soluble brown nitrated compound, the intensity of which is matched with that of a standard sample of similar composition treated under similar condition. The intensity of color produced is proportional to the carbon content of iron of steel sample. This method of combined carbon determination is called the
