Phases in Fe-C system
α Ferrite
The solid solution of carbon in iron. At 0% C this is pure iron. BCC crystal structure.
The maximum solubility of carbon in iron is 0,02% at 723oC. At 0 oC temperature the solubility falls to
0,008%. The carbon atoms are located in the crystal interstices.
α... BCC crystal with crystal dimension a = 2,86 Angstrom exists at temperatures up to 910oC
Austenite The solid solution of carbon in γ iron is called austenite . This has a FCC crystal structure with a higher solubility for carbon compared with α ferrite. The solubility reaches a maximum of 2,08% at 1148oC . The solubility decreases to 0,8% at 723 oC The carbon atoms are dissolved interstitially. The difference in solubility between the austenite and α Ferrite is the basis for the hardening of steels γ... FCC crystal with crystal dimension a = 3,65 Angstrom exists at temperature range 910oC to 1403oC
Cementite This is an intermetallic compound which contains 6,67% C and 93,3% Fe. Cementite is a hard brittle compound with and orthorhombic crystal structure each unit cell has 12 Fe atoms and 4 C atoms
δ Ferrite..
This is a solid solution of carbon in iron and has a BCC crystal structure. The maximum solubility or C
in Fe is 0,09% at 1495oC. This has no real practical significance in engineering. δ... BCC crystal with
crystal dimension a = 2,93 Angstrom exists at temperature range 1403oC to 1535oC
A few comments on Fe–Fe3C system
C is an interstitial impurity in Fe. It forms a solid solution with α, γ, δ phases of
iron
Maximum solubility in BCC α-ferrite is limited (max.0.022 wt% at 727 °C) - BCC
has relatively small interstitial positions
Maximum solubility in FCC austenite is 2.14 wt% at 1147°C - FCC has larger
interstitial positions
Mechanical properties: Cementite is very hard and brittle -can strengthen steels.
Mechanical properties also depend on the microstructure, that is, how ferrite and
cementite are mixed.
Magnetic properties: α -ferrite is magnetic below 768 °C, austenite is non-
magnetic
Classification. Three types of ferrous alloys:
• Iron: less than 0.008 wt % C in α−ferrite at room T
• Steels: 0.008 - 2.14 wt % C (usually < 1 wt % )
α-ferrite + Fe3C at room T (Chapter 12) • Cast iron: 2.14 - 6.7 wt % (usually < 4.5 wt %)
Microstructure of hypoeutectoid steel
Eutectoid Point
When alloy of eutectoid composition (0.76 wt % C) is cooled
slowly it forms pearlite, a lamellar or layered structure of
two phases: α-ferrite (0.022 wt%) and cementite Fe3C (6.7 wt%) .
Microstructure of hypereutectoid steel
Hypereutectoid alloys contain proeutectoid cementite
(formed above the eutectoid temperature) plus pearlite that contain eutectoid ferrite and cementite.
Solidification of Ingots
Columnar and Equiaxed grain structure in Cast Ingot

Summary No Details
1 The iron carbon phase diagram gives the phases present in the iron carbon system for the carbon range 0 to 6.67% and for the temperature range 0 to 1600 degrees Centigrade
2 The decrease in solubility of carbon at room temperature compared with that over 723 degrees centigrade is the basis for hardening of steel.
3 The temperature for various heat treatments are decided based on the phases present.
4 Manufacture of pig iron from iron ore is by carbothermic reduction of the ore which is oxide. Steel is manufactured from pig iron through oxidation of carbon present using a modified basic oxygen converter.
5 Modern steel manufacturing techniques use a combination of ladle refining, vacuum degassing methods to reduce overall time and cost of steel making and at the same time ensuring good quality consistency with reference to steel cleanliness.
6 Modern production is mostly through the continuous casting route which gives a better yield and also better surface because of excellent shrouding of the stream from air. Continuous casting can be slab casting for flat products or billet casters for sections.
7 Reduction ratio of about 6:1 is preferred to ensure freedom from dendritic structure. However this can be review based on the end use and also if the steel plant uses electromagnetic stirring technology.
