b) What factors determines which solid composition an alloy will exhibit? (4 marks) c) Differentiate between the eutectic and the eutectoid point on a steel equilibrium diagram. (5 marks) d) The carbon content in steel will dictate, to a certain degree, what applications particular steel is appropriate for. What else will determine the properties and therefore the end application of the steel? (9 marks)
