The lower the transformation temperature, the smaller the colony size. Over the range of transformation temperatures 660-580/sup 0/C, the ratio of the colony size to the mean true interlamellar spacing was in the range 29 to 35. The prior austenite grain size affected neither the pearlite colony size nor the structure of a colony but influenced the morphology of pearlite.
