For a steel with a 0.2 wt%C, what is the mass fraction and composition of phases at 600
(Please draw connections on the graph)

Transcribed Image Text:# Iron-Iron Carbide Phase Diagram
The Iron-Iron Carbide Phase Diagram is a crucial tool in materials science and engineering for understanding the phases of iron-carbon alloys at various temperatures and carbon compositions.
## Axes and Scales
- The vertical axis represents **Temperature (°C)**, ranging from 400°C to 1600°C on the left, and corresponding values of 1000 to 2500 on the right (scaled for certain regions).
- The horizontal axis shows two scales for **Composition**:
- The bottom axis is in **weight percent carbon (wt% C)**, ranging from 0% to 6.70%.
- The top axis shows **atomic percent carbon (at% C)**, ranging from 0 to 25%.
## Phase Regions
- **L (Liquid)**: The area above the topmost line indicates a liquid phase.
- **δ (Delta Ferrite)**: Located just below the liquid region at lower carbon compositions, stable up to the melting point at 1538°C.
- **γ (Austenite)**: Present in the central area between approximately 912°C and 1394°C. It transitions from δ at the top and is present down to the eutectoid temperature.
- **α (Ferrite)**: Found below 912°C at lower carbon compositions, extending to 0.022 wt% C.
- **Cementite (Fe₃C)**: Formed on the right side of the diagram, it is exposed with increasing carbon composition.
- **γ + L (Liquid + Austenite)**: This region delineates the mixture of liquid and austenite phases, starting around 1147°C.
- **γ + Fe₃C (Austenite + Cementite)**: Extends below austenite and liquid, indicating the coexistence of austenite and cementite.
## Important Lines and Points
- **Eutectic Point (4.30 wt% C, 1147°C)**: Indicates the transition between liquid phase to a mixture of austenite and cementite.
- **Eutectoid Point (0.76 wt% C, 727°C)**: The transformation point where austenite transforms into pearlite, a combination of ferrite and cementite.
- **Critical Temperature Lines**:
- **912°C**: Transformation line between ferrite (α) and austenite (γ)
