Investigation of the temperature evolution of magnetization curves near magnetic saturation makes it possible to extract new information on the features of the phase composition and structure of hypoeutectoid steel. It is shown that the main contribution to the magnitude and the temperature behavior of the energy density of the local magnetic anisotropy of hypoeutectoid steel is due to the lamellar structure of pearlite. The peculiarity of the temperature behavior of the energy of the magnetic anisotropy, along with the behavior of the paraprocess, indicates the formation of Mn-substituted cementite in the studied steel sample. The observation of the crossover of power-law regularities in the approximation of magnetization to saturation indicates the formation of two-dimensional nano-inhomogeneities of the local axis of easy magnetization in the plates of alpha iron, which are part of the pearlite. Keywords: magnetization, steel, cementite, iron, approach to saturation magnetization, pearlite
