Phase transformations of steels in solidified state (metastable system)
Depending on the carbon content, further phase transformations take place in the steel in the solidified state. The cooled microstructure consists of pearlite and ferrite.

Microstructure formation of steels during solidification
Steels solidify as solid solutions. The face-centered cubic lattice structure with the embedded carbon atom is called austenite.

Comparison of phase transformations in steels
Phase transformations in steels can be compared to those of solid solutions (completely soluble) and crystal mixtures (completely insoluble).
