1. Using an iron carbon phase diagram (Attached), identify the Phases in FeFe3C Phase Diagram and complete the blanks.
\alpha -ferrite - solid solution of C in BCC Fe
Stable form of iron at room temperature.
The maximum solubility of C is ___________________ wt%
Transforms to FCC \gamma -austenite at _________________ oC
\gamma -austenite - solid solution of C in FCC Fe
The maximum solubility of C is ____________________wt %.
Transforms to BCC \delta -ferrite at ____________________ oC
Is not stable below the eutectic temperature (_________________ oC) unless cooled rapidly.
\delta -ferrite solid solution of C in BCC Fe
The same structure as \alpha -ferrite
Stable only at high T, above _____________________________ oC
Melts at ________________________________________oC
Fe3C (iron carbide or cementite)
This intermetallic compound is metastable, it remains as a compound indefinitely at room T, but decomposes (very slowly, within several years) into \alpha -Fe and C (graphite) at 650-700\deg C
Fe-C liquid solution
