An alloy of Fe - 0.4 % C is__________________?

Correct answer: B. Hypo-eutectoid steel

  • A. Cast iron
  • B. Hypo-eutectoid steel
  • C. Hyper-eutectoid steel
  • D. Eutectoid steel

Explanation

The eutectoid composition of plain carbon steel is about 0.8% carbon, so an Fe–0.4% C alloy lies below it. It is therefore hypoeutectoid steel, not eutectoid or hyper-eutectoid steel.
