Question: 3 . ( 8 pts ) Using the isothermal transformation diagram ( TTT diagram ) for a ( 0 . 4 5 mathrm

3.(8 pts) Using the isothermal transformation diagram (TTT diagram) for a \(0.45\mathrm{wt}\%\mathrm{C}\) steel alloy, answer the following questions. In each case, assume that the specimen begins at \(845^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) and that it has been held at this temperature long enough to have achieved a complete and homogeneous austenite structure. (A: austenite, F: ferrite, P: pearlite, B: bair
(a)(4 pts) Determine the final microstructure (in terms of the percentages of the microconstituents present) when the specimen is rapidly cooled to \(400^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\), held for 500 sec , then quenched to room temperature.
(b)(4 pts) Determine the final microstructure (in terms of the percentages of the microconstituents present) when the specimen is rapidly cooled to \(700^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\), held at this temperature for \(10^{6}\mathrm{sec}\), then quenched to room temperature.
