δ-ferrite
– solid solution of carbon in δ−iron
– BCC crystal structure
• maximum solubility of ferrite being 0.09%C at 1495°C
• Cementite (Fe3C)
• intermetallic Fe-C compound
• Fe3C : 6.67%C and 93.3%Fe.
• orthorhombic crystal structure: hard and brittle
Solubility of carbon:

MMat 380 Lecture 2 Intro to Steel
• Eutectoid reaction:
S S1 + S2

Critical temperatures
A = Thermal arrest
• A1 line: eutectoid transformation
• A3 line: γ transformation to α
• Acm line: γ transformation to Fe3C
• Cooling vs heating (Ar and Ac)

• Microstructure: pearlite
- lamellar eutectoid product alternates
plates of α and Fe3C
- two phases grow simultaneously.
