We investigated the pearlite spheroidization of a 0.8 mass% C–Fe steel under 700 °C static annealing conditions using a combination of computer-aided three-dimensional (3-D) tomography and electron back-scattered diffraction. The holes present in naturally grown cementite lamellae cause shape instability and induce shape evolution of the lamellar structure during spheroidization. 3-D visualization demonstrated that the intrinsic holes play an important role in the initiation and development of pearlite spheroidization. The hole coalescence and expansion causes the break-up up of large cementite lamellae into several long narrow ribbons. Furthermore, the growth mechanism of inter-hole coalescence is related to the ratio of half the inter-hole distance on a cementite lamella to the thickness of that lamella. The driving force for hole growth is either the difference in surface energy or the curvature between the hole edges and the adjacent flat surface of the lamella. The morphologies of cementite ribbons depend on the hole expansion position on cementite lamella, and can change their shape to cylinders or small spheres by Rayleigh’s perturbation process after prolonged spheroidization.
