What is the result of full annealing of hypoeutectoid steels?

Bainite

Silicon

Cementite

Coarse pearlite

Correct Answer : Coarse pearlite

Explanation : Hypoeutectoid steels are heated above the A3 line and then cooled in the furnace. Then it removed from the furnace and then cooled at room temperature. This results in coarse pearlite with excess ferrite.
