Why is martensite hard and brittle? Choose all that apply. almost all the carbon is in solid solution, creating solution hardening there are relatively few slip systems in a body centered tetragonal crystal it has been cold worked significantly the crystals are very small, so there are many grain boundaries Rank the following iron-carbon alloys and associated microstructures from the hardest to the softest. spheroidite with 0.8% carbon spheroidite with 0.25% carbon fine pearlite with 0.8% carbon coarse pearlite with 0.25% carbon
Solution
43- a,b
44-
Fine pearlite- spheroidite(0.8)- coarse pearlite(.25)- spheroidite(.25)
