a) Name the possible types of micro-constituents in microstructures achieved by austeniticphase transformation when subjected to various isothermal heat treatments. [1]

b) Mark these micro-constituents directly on the time-temperature-transformation (ill)diagram (shown above in the right graph). [2]

c) Rank microhardness of these micro-constituents in increasing order. [1]

d) Using the TTT diagram, specify the final microstructure (in terms of micro-constituentsand approximate percentages of each) of a small specimen that has been subjected to the following time-temperature treatments. In each case, assume that the specimen begins at 760 °C and that it has been held at this temperature long enough to have achieved acomplete and homogeneous austenitic structure. [5]
