Iron-Carbon Phase Diagram

• For the iron-carbon phase diagram, the phase fields of interest are the
• ferrite
• cementite
• austenite
• ferrite + cementite
• ferrite + austenite
• and austenite + cementite phase fields.
invariant reaction in iron carbon phase
diagram
• Invariant reactions are reactions that show the transformation of
phases. These are used in iron carbon diagrams. In this reaction, the
liquid phase changes to two solid phases. In this reaction, a solid
phase changes to two solid phases.
Using the Diagrams
• Development of new alloys based on application requirements.
• Production of these alloys.
• Development and control of appropriate heat treatment procedures
