In most previous work, the interlamellar interface between pearlitic ferrite and cementite is considered to have a low energy and dislocations have been observed at the interfacial boundary, in both plain carbon steels and high manganese steels. Here, four new orientation relationships (ORs) between pearlitic ferrite and cementite have been determined using the more accurate CBKLDP technique. In eutectoid steel the pearlite obeys the New-2, New-3 and New-4 ORs; in hypoeutectoid steel only the Isaichev OR is observed; in hypereutectoid steel the New-5 OR is followed. The two widely accepted ORs, the Pitsch-Petch OR and the Bagaryatskii OR have never been observed. They probably do not exist.
