Changing the carbon content of the alloy changes the microstructure of the pearlite and hence the mechanical properties ... Before transforming to pearlite, this material phases through the two-phase ...

Austenite is a solid and, in general, will be polycrystalline. The formation of ferrite and iron carbide will start at the austenite grain boundaries and the final pearlite microstructure will have ...

Prolonged exposure to 5 % HCl significantly impacts SS 304's microstructure and mechanical properties, emphasizing the need for effective corrosion protection.
