MEE1005 MATERIALS ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY
Purpose of Engineering /Education/Research
Devaprakasam D, Email: [email protected], Ph: +91 9786553933
There are two important purposes and driving force behind the Engineering/Education/Research:
1. Minimum consumption of Energy and Materials without sacrificing the efficiency and functionality.
2. Maximum conversion of Energy from one form to the other, to identify or design highly efficient process or system.

When the solution above the transformation point is solid, rather than liquid, an analogous eutectoid transformation can occur. For instance, in the iron-carbon system, the austenite phase can undergo a eutectoid transformation to produce ferrite and cementite, often in lamellar structures such as pearlite and bainite.

Consider a composition C0 to the left of the eutectoid, between 0.022 and 0.76 wt% C; this is termed a hypoeutectoid (less than eutectoid) alloy.
Schematic representations of the microstructures for an iron–carbon alloy of hypoeutectoid composition C0 (containing less than 0.76 wt% C) as it is cooled from within the austenite phase region to below the eutectoid temperature.

Proeutectoid signifies is a phase that forms (on cooling) before the eutectoid austenite decomposes. It has a parallel with primary solids in that it is the first phase to solidify out of the austenite phase. Thus, if the steel is hypoeutectoid it will produce proeutectoidferrite and if it is hypereutectoid it will produce proeutectoid cementite.

Analogous transformations and microstructures result for hypereutectoid alloys, those containing between 0.76 and 2.14 wt% C, which are cooled from temperatures within the phase field.
