Chapter 12, Problem 12.83P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reson for the bainite and pearlite to not appear in ${\text{fe-fe}}_{\text{3}}\text{c}$ phase diagram needs to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

In their easiest structure steels are combination of iron (fe) and carbon (c). The fe-c stage outline up to around carbon. Mechanical properties of cementite in that they are exceptionally hard and weak. They can quality compounds. Iron carbide is the entectic blend of austentite and cementite. It contains 4.3 percent carbon and is shaped at. It exists when the carbon substance is more prominent than 2%, which speaks to the separating line on the balance outline among steel and cast iron.
