Which outcome typically occurs when cast iron is heated past its eutectoid point?

💡 Explanation

Above the eutectoid temperature, austenite prevails because iron's BCC-to-FCC transformation absorbs carbon via the 'austenite transformation' mechanism. Therefore, grain size increases rapidly, rather than graphite forming which occurs during slow cooling from liquid, or ferrite hardening which is bypassed.
