A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Austenite formation and decomposition

Austenite formation and decomposition are central to heat treatment because they determine the microstructure that develops in steels during heating and cooling. For examination purposes, you must understand what austenite is, how it forms from other phases, and how its decomposition products such as pearlite, bainite, and martensite control hardness, strength, and toughness.
