Question

In welding of metals, molten metal is deposited between the two objects that are to be welded together. Most of the heat from the molten material is conducted into the area around the weld, significantly increasing the temperature in the area, which can affect the local material properties. This area is often called the Heat Affected Zone (HAZ). 

Assuming you have base metal that is hypereutectoid steel, with a Cementite+Fine Pearlite microstructure, estimate what the microstructure would be in Area 1 and Area 2 of the HAZ. What is the primary factor (other than temperature and composition) that would affect what type of microstructure would be created?
