Martensite is very hard and brittle, and the steel is used in this
condition only when extreme hardness is required.
From Fig -16- we see that tensile strength increased with the
increase of carbon content till (0.8 % C) pearlit 100 %, and this
increase doesn't continue because cementite appears in the
structure of plain carbon steel.
