Question

Carbon content in hypo eutectic cast iron is

• A. 0.08-0.8%
• B. 4.3-6.67%
• C. 2.0-4.3%
• D. 0.8-2.0%

Hint:

In hypo eutectic cast iron, the carbon content is lower than the eutectic composition and results in a microstructure that is a combination of pearlite and proeutectic phases.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Hypo eutectic cast iron contains carbon content in the range of 2.0-4.3%, which is characteristic of cast irons that are under the eutectic composition.
