A study of the constitution and structure of all steels and irons must first start with the iron-carbon equilibrium diagram. Many of the basic features of this system (Fig. 3.1) influence the ...

It would be impossible to include a detailed survey of the effects of alloying elements on the iron-carbon equilibrium diagram in this book. In the simplest version this would require analysis of a ...

The eutectoid phase transition in the iron carbon system takes place ... This is illustrated on the partial phase diagram and shown in the micrograph where the ferrite layers are light in color. The ...
