Abstract

This paper describes the three-dimensional (3-D) microstructure of a pearlite colony in a carburized electrolytic iron. The original data was obtained by serial sectioning methods around 1960, and is revisited with modern 3-D visualizations. After a brief historical introduction, the structure of the pearlite colony is discussed, using surface renderings and blue-red stereoscopic images.
