To quantitatively evaluate the three-dimensional lamellar curvature in pearlitic steel, crystallographic orientation rotation of ferrite and cementite was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy backscattering diffraction. In hypereutectoid steel containing 0.92% C, 0.30% Mn, 0.20% Si, 0.19% Cr, ferrite–cementite interfaces some colonies were confirmed to match well with those having freque...
