 Phase Diagram – Fe-Fe3C
 Point c: 100% solid  phase
(austenite)
 Point d: nucleation of the
solid  phase (ferrite) along
grain boundaries of the
solid  phase (austenite)
 Point e: growth of the solid
proeutectoid  phase
(ferrite) along grain
boundaries of the solid 
phase (austenite)
 Point f: the eutectoid
reaction is taken place, so
that the solid  phase
(austenite) is transformed
into pearlite phase
(+Fe3C)
