the presentation files only, refer
it just as reference material.
More concentration should
on class room work and text
book-reference books.
• In an almost pure form, known as Ingot or Wrought Iron, Iron has limited
applications like roofing, ducts, drainage culverts and as a base enamel in
refrigerator cabinets, stoves, washing machines, etc.
• In an alloyed form, Carbon is mixed with Iron to form alloys. Alloys of the
Iron-Carbon system are known as Ferrous Alloys. They include Plain Carbon
Steels, Alloy Steels and Cast Iron.

When iron crystallizes at 1539 C it is B.C.C. (δ-iron), at 1404 C the structure changes to
F.C.C. (γ-iron or austenite), and at 910 C it again becomes B.C.C. (α-iron or ferrite).

contain proeutectoid
ferrite (formed above
the eutectoid
temperature) plus the
eutectoid perlite that
contain eutectoid
ferrite and cementite.
