::the epsilon carbide is transition carbide of between Fe2C and Fe3C composition,with hexagonal close packing microsyructure,which forms over a range of250-400degree temperature during lowerbainite transformation.this transformation happensduring tempering heat treatment of quenched steelsor durinh slowcooling in that temperature range.
it is fine dispersed carbide in a ferrite needle like matrix.
