Q116

If a particular Fe-C alloy contains less than 0.83% carbon, it is called

A.
High speed steel
B.
Hypo eutectoid steel
Answer
C.
Hyper eutectoid steel
D.
Cast iron

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
If a particular Fe-C alloy contains less than 0.83% carbon, it is categorized as hypo eutectoid steel. In metallurgy, the carbon content in steel alloys determines their properties and classifications. Hypo eutectoid steel has a carbon content below the eutectoid composition (0.83% carbon) and exhibits specific mechanical and thermal properties suited for various applications in manufacturing and production technology.
