Abstract
The microstructure of the low carbon steel has been researched most time without considering its trace elements how it contributes to its mechanical properties. This research was able to consider the mechanical properties of the trace elements in the pearlite face (as a composite) to give a proper stress-strain values which is used to validate the young modulus of low carbon steel in literature. The microstructure used was a 2D & 3D Voronoi tessellation model from MATLAB where the surface plot was done and then exported to ANSYS for proper stress analysis. Comparing the FEA results and low carbon steel young’s modulus of literature, maximum value of 192.22GPa was recorded in sample. It then gives a better prediction of the stress-strain values by embedding the property of the trace elements in the base property of the 0.25 wt.% low carbon steel. However, the analysis shown that the trace elements contribute to the stress-strain values of the model which is close to that of low carbon steel with about just 4% deviations. This therefore affirms the significance of the hardening (trace) elements contributing to the behavior of Carbon in the microstructure
