Document Summary

Peritectic gamma alpha + beta gamma is another solid phase, not liquid. Shown btwn 0 and 6. 7% (in steel and cast carbon ironthis is relevant region) If phase not given, look at phases on both sides of boundaryit"s most likely mix of those phases. -> alpha-fe (bcc) (ferrite) --> (912 oc) gamma-fe (fcc) (austenite) -->(1394 oc) delta-fe (bcc) Energy to form different phase < energy to dissolve something in it. Octahedral interstitial sites in fcc are bigger than tetrahetral sites in bcc. -> c more soluble in gamma-fe (fcc) b/c of bigger interstitial sites. Steel = 0. 008 - 2. 14 wt% c (for most steel, wt% c < 1%) Cast iron = 2. 14 - 6. 17 wt% c. 0. 0081 < c < 2. 14: called a eutectoid rxn if passes through eutectoid pt. gamma alpha + fe3c in gamma, c = 0. 76%
