Lecture 14, by Dr Apparao Chintha,   in the series "Steel Research: A global journey",  organised by Adreil Wong, Dominik Dziedzic and Steve Ooi to mark the retirement of Harry Bhadeshia. 

The spheroidisation of pearlite is normally carried out by annealing, but it is demonstrated here in a patented process that this can be achieved directly by appropriate hot-rolling and continuous cooling at the normal rates involved in the production of eutectoid steels. The low hardness achieved is consistent with industrial requirements.
