As the cooling rate increases, diffusion of carbon has less time to occur, which results in a slight change in the shape of the iron-carbon diagram. The eutectoid composition is shifted to the left for hypoeutectoid steels and to the right for hypereutectoid steels.

The most common criterion for hardenability on the end-quench hardenability curve is the point of inflection (50% martensite). Cooling rates at given distances from the quenched end of the Jominy bar can be correlated to the cooling rates at four different locations in the quenched specimen.
