    1) Specimen 1 was 0.8% carbon steel heated to 800°C for 1 hour then furnace cooled, producing granular pearlite visible under a microscope. 2) Specimen 2 was also 0.8% carbon steel heated to 800°C for 1 hour but cooled in still air, producing pearlite or eutectoid steel, characterized by bands of ferrite and cementite. 3) Specimen 3 was 0.35% carbon steel furnace cooled from 870°C, producing a microstructure of ferrite, cementite, and bainite based on its carbon percentage and the iron-carbon phase diagram.

    Specimen 1( X17)

    This specimen containing 0.8% carbon steel, rolled bar, heated for 1 hour at 800
    o
    C,
    then it undergoes furnace cooled or it called annealed process at room temperature.
    The term annealing is applies normally to softening by changing the microstructure and
    is a term used to describe the heating and cooling cycle of metals in the solid state. The
    term annealing usually implies relatively slow cooling in carbon and alloy steels.
    When this specimen undergoes furnace cooled process to room temperature, we
    assumed that it produced granular pearlite based on what we found through optical
    microscope. The darker on the microstructure is pearlite and the white areas are ferrite.

    Specimen 2(X18)

    This specimen is containing 0.8% carbon steel, rolled bar, heated for 1 hour at 800
    o
    C,
    then it cooled in still air or other word call normalized process. Normalizing is a heat
    treatment process for making material softer but does not produce the uniform
    material properties of annealing.
    When this specimen undergoes normalized process, we assumed that it produced
    pearlite or eutectoid steel. Pearlite is an iron alloy that is characterized by the formation
    of distinct bands of ferrite and cementite. Normalizing is more commonly used than
    annealing, as it is considerably cheaper that full annealing since there is not the added
    cost of controlled furnace cooling.

    Specimen 3(X19)

    This specimen is containing 0.35% carbon steel bar, it then furnace cooled or other
    word is spherodized process from 870
    o
    C. This specimen can be classified as moderate-
    carbon steel based on its percentage of carbon.
    According to the percentage of carbon, when this specimen undergoes spherodized
    process, it will at the ferrite and cementite region based on phase diagram of iron-
    carbon. Therefore the microstructure produced ferrite, cementite and bainite.



    Specimen 4(X20)

    This specimen is containing 1.3% of carbon steel bar, then it also undergoes
    spherodized process or furnace cooled from 970
    o
    C. Based on the percentage of this
    specimen can be classified as high-carbon steel.
    According to the percentage of carbon, when this specimen undergoes spherodized
    process, it start from austernite. It then formed to cementite on austernite boundary. But
    the microstructure still enrich austernite because of laminars look.

    NON-FERROUS ALLOYS

    Specimen 5(X12)

    This specimen is containing 58% Copper (Cu) or 42% Zinc (Zn). It then reheated to
    800
    o
    C for 1 hour. After reheated, it then was furnace cooled to 600
    o
    C and undergoes
    water quenched after it. This process is hardenability, it means the influenced for alloy
    composition on the ability of steel alloy to transform martensite structure for certain
    quenching treatment. It then, the specimen will form martensite microstructure.

    Specimen 6 (X13)
    This specimen is containing 58% copper and 42%. It then reheated to 800
    o
    C for 1
    hour, furnace cooled to room temperature. it almost similar process compare to specimen 5.
    The microstructure of this specimen expands.
    Specimen 7 (X14)
    His specimen is containing Aluminium(Al) and 4% of copper (Cu) alloy, sand cast. It
    heated at 525
    o
    C for 16 hours and water quenched after it. This process is age-
    hardening because the strength developed by time or as the alloy ages.
    Specimen 8 (X15)
    This specimen is containing Aluminium (Al) and 4% Copper (Cu) alloy, sand cast. It
    then heated at 525
    o
    C for 16 hours and water quenched after it, it then reheated at 260

    o
    C for 70 hours. It almost similar process with specimen 7. But this specimen also
    undergoes age-hardening process.
