Transcribed Image Text:**Figure 10.28: Isothermal Transformation Diagram**
The upper diagram is an isothermal transformation diagram for a 1.13 wt% C iron–carbon alloy. It indicates different phases and transformations based on temperature and time. The diagram contains curves representing:
- **A (Austenite)**
- **A + C (Austenite + Cementite)**
- **A + P (Austenite + Pearlite)**
- **P (Pearlite)**
- **A + B (Austenite + Bainite)**
- **B (Bainite)**
- **M (start, 50%, 90%)** marks where martensite transformation starts, is 50%, and 90% complete
The x-axis represents time in seconds (logarithmic scale), and the y-axis on the left side represents temperature in Celsius, while the right side shows the corresponding temperature in Fahrenheit. The diagram provides a guide for predicting microstructural changes during isothermal heat treatments.
**Iron–Carbon Phase Diagram**
The lower diagram is the iron–carbon phase diagram, which plots temperature against weight percent carbon:
- The x-axis represents the weight percent carbon, starting from 0% to approximately 7%.
- The y-axis on the left indicates temperature in Celsius, from 0°C to 1600°C.
Key phases and regions include:
- **δ (Delta) + Liquid**: High-temperature region where both delta ferrite and liquid coexist.
- **Liquid**: The uppermost region with only liquid phase.
- **γ (Austenite) + Liquid**: Mixture of austenite and liquid phase.
- **γ (Austenite)**: Solid solution of carbon in face-centered cubic iron.
- **γ + Carbide**: A mix of austenite and carbide phases.
- **α (Alpha) + Carbide**: Region with ferrite and carbide phases.
Critical temperatures and compositions are marked:
- **727°C (1340°F)**: Eutectoid transformation temperature.
- **2.14% and 4.3% Carbon**: Indicating solubility limits of carbon in austenite and other phases.
This diagram is crucial for understanding the equilibrium phases in iron-carbon alloys and guides steel processing and heat treatment.
