SOLUTIONS MANUAL PRACTICE SCRIPT
UPDATED 2026 TESTED SOLUTIONS
⫸ step 2:growth Answer: growth proceeds until equilibrium
-driving forced to nucleate increases with temp
>super cooling (eutectic, eutectoid)-must be much below phase change
line
>super heating (peritectic)
-small supercooling, slow nucleation rate
⫸ kinetics (heat treatment) Answer: study of reaction rates of phase
transformations
-determine rate by measuring degree of transformation as function of
time while the temp is constant
⫸ Fe-FE3C Transformation (Eutectoid) Answer: rate changes with
Teutectiod-T, (if temp change is larger, time is smaller)
-coarse pearlite>high temp, soft b/c large layers
-fine pearlite>low temp, hard b/c thin layers
