pearlitic

This results in a fine pearlitic structure, and a more-uniform structure.

This results in a coarse pearlitic structure, which means the "bands" of pearlite are thick.

Malleable iron is cast as White iron, the structure being a metastable carbide in a pearlitic matrix.

The one-piece cylinder block and crankcase is made from pearlitic grey cast iron with microalloyed steel (microalloy).

The highest hardness of a pearlitic steel is 400 Brinell whereas martensite can achieve 700 Brinell.

In 1969, Pontiac also used a revised crankshaft out of a Pearlitic malleable-iron, although it still used the "N" casting letter.

Steels with pearlitic (eutectoid composition) or near-pearlitic microstructure (near-eutectoid composition) can be drawn into thin wires.

High degrees of wire drawing (logarithimic strain above 3) leads to pearlitic wires with yield strengths of several Giga Pascals.

A moderate cooling rate forms a more pearlitic matrix, while a slow cooling rate forms a more ferritic matrix.

Some hypereutectoid pearlitic steel wires, when cold wire drawn to true (logarithmic) strains above 5, can even show a maximal tensile strength above 6 GPa.

The hamon is the transition between the region of harder martensitic steel of the blade edge and the softer pearlitic steel of the back of the sword.

Eutectoid steel can in principle be transformed completely into pearlite; hypoeutectoid steels can also be completely pearlitic if transformed at a temperature below the normal eutectoid.

Three basic types of malleable iron are recognized within the casting industry: Blackheart malleable iron, Whiteheart malleable iron and Pearlitic malleable iron.

For this reason, the bainitic microstructure becomes useful in that no additional heat treatments are required after initial cooling to achieve a hardness value between that of pearlitic and martensitic steels.

This eliminates the toughness-reducing effect of a pearlitic volume fraction yet maintains and increases the material's strength by refining the grain size, which in the case of ferrite increases yield strength by 50% for every halving of the mean grain diameter.
