    lk212
    The document discusses the iron-iron carbide phase diagram, including the different phases like ferrite, austenite and cementite that form based on the carbon content of the alloy. It explains key terms like hypoeutectoid, hypereutectoid, proeutectoid and pearlite, and how the microstructure changes from ferrite and pearlite in hypoeutectoid steel to proeutectoid cementite and pearlite in hypereutectoid steel during cooling.

    Phase Diagrams II: The Iron- Iron Carbide Diagram

    Objectives
    1. Explain and use the terms hypoeutectoid, hypereutectoid, proeutectoid, and pearlite. 2. Identify the major phases on the F-C diagram and explain their chief characteristics. 3. Identify the proeutectoid phase for a given alloy.

    The Iron-Carbon Diagram

    General Properties:

    Ferrite - Iron with a little Carbon. Fairly Soft.

    Austenite - FCC Iron with much Carbon.Ductile.

    Cementite - Hard ceramic material.

    Hypoecutectoid Line a-e; Cool From a to d.

    Proeutectoid Forms before eutectoid

    Eutectoid Steel NO Proeutectoid phase!

    Eutectoid Steel

    Pearlite Ferrite (white) Cementite (dark)

    Hypereutectoid Steel
    Proeutectoid Cementite (white)

    Pearlite (striped)
