Cast iron is between 2.06 and 6.67%. Black lines indicate the metastable Fe/Fe3Cphase, red is the stable Fe/Carbon phase This diagram is for illustrative purposes only, and is not thermodynamically accurate.
Low-pressure phase diagram of pure iron. BCC is body centered cubic and FCC is face-centered cubic. Iron-carbon eutectic phase diagram, showing various forms of Fe x C y substances. Iron allotropes, showing the differences in structure. The alpha iron (α-Fe) is a body-centered cubic (BCC) and the gamma iron (γ-Fe) is a face-centered cubic (FCC).
The iron-carbon phase diagram. While cementite is thermodynamically unstable, eventually being converted to austenite (low carbon level) and graphite (high carbon level) at higher temperatures, it does not decompose on heating at temperatures below the eutectoid temperature (723 °C) on the metastable iron-carbon phase diagram.
English: Steel phase diagram Iron-carbon phase diagram under atmospheric pressure This diagram is limited by pure iron on the left and by iron carbide on the right. The mains phases are: * α iron: ferrite, ferritic steel * γ iron: austenite, austenitic steel * iron carbide: cementite, Fe3C.
A complex phase diagram of great technological importance is that of the iron–carbon system for less than 7% carbon (see steel). The x-axis of such a diagram represents the concentration variable of the mixture.
Iron-carbon phase diagram. α-Iron is a fairly soft metal that can dissolve only a small concentration of carbon (no more than 0.021% by mass at 910 °C). [133] Austenite (γ-iron) is similarly soft and metallic but can dissolve considerably more carbon (as much as 2.04% by mass at 1146 °C).
Iron-carbon phase diagram, showing the conditions under which austenite (γ) is stable in carbon steel. Allotropes of iron; alpha iron and gamma iron. Austenite, also known as gamma-phase iron (γ-Fe), is a metallic, non-magnetic allotrope of iron or a solid solution of iron with an alloying element. [1]
An iron-carbon phase diagram showing the conditions necessary to form different phases An incandescent steel workpiece in a blacksmith's art. Iron is commonly found in the Earth's crust in the form of an ore, usually an iron oxide, such as magnetite or hematite.
