IV) STEP a) the stell is heated to the temperature above upper critical critical temperature for the hypoetectoid steel and above the lower critical temperature for the hypereutectoid steel

STEP b) the stell is kept at this temp. for a considerable period of time.

STEP c) the steel is then cooled slowly generally furnace cooling is employed.
