In the Fe-Fe3C phase diagram, the eutectoid composition is 0.8 weight % of carbon at 725 °C. The maximum solubility of carbon in α-ferrite phase is 0.025 weight % of carbon. A steel sample, having no other alloying element except 0.5 weight % of carbon, is slowly cooled from 1000 °C to room temperature. The fraction of pro-eutectoid α-ferrite in the above steel sample at room temperature is
