U1.C04. What are the equilibrium phases in the metastable Fe-C system?

U1.C05. Describe the Bessemer process.

U1.C06. What would happen to the temper of a hypo eutectoid steel if it were heated between the
temperatures A1 and A3 instead of above A3?

U1.C07. The heating in the quenching process is done to achieve a totally austenitic structure.

U1.C08. The purpose of tempering is to obtain a martensitic structure

U1.C09. In the martempering the obtained structure is martensitic and in austempering the obtained
structure is austenite.

U1.10. The complete hardening it is called that way because the resultant structure is totally
martensitic.
