Which Phases Are Present in Hypereutectoid?

The three phases ferrite, cementite, and pearlite are the main principal constituents of the microstructure of plain carbon steels.

What is the Proeutectoid phase in a Hypereutectoid steel?

% carbon so this is a hypereutectoid steel. The proeutectoid phase is the cementite that precipitates at the grain boundaries.

What are the phases of hypo eutectoid steel?

Hypoeutectoid steels can, upon initial cooling from the austenite single phase field, exist as two different phases, proeutectoid ferrite and austenite, each with different carbon contents.
