Fe – Cr Phase diagram To qualify as stainless steel, Fe-base alloys must contain at least 10.5%Cr. The iron-chromium phase diagram shows that up to about 13%Cr, the steel undergoes successive transformations upon cooling from the liquid phase from ferritic α phase to austenitic γ phase and back to α.
