STUDY OF THE FE-C PHASE DIAGRAM

Abstract

The study of the Fe3C phase diagram is crucial for understanding phase transformations and structural changes in iron-carbon alloys. This research focuses on analyzing phase transitions, equilibrium structures, and phase compositions at different temperatures. The Fe-C equilibrium diagram helps determine phase fractions using the lever rule and Gibbs phase rule. Key phases, such as ferrite, austenite, cementite, and pearlite, influence material properties. By constructing the phase diagram and interpreting its microstructural changes, this study provides insight into the mechanical and thermal behavior of Fe-C alloys in industrial applications.
