Question: 1 . Using an iron carbon phase diagram ( Attached ) , identify the Phases in Fe Fe 3 C Phase Diagram and complete the
Using an iron carbon phase diagram Attached identify the Phases in FeFeC 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
FeC 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 deg C
FeC liquid solution
