Iron-Carbon Diagram and Its Reactions | Metallurgy
In Fe-Fe3C diagram, three important invariant (at a constant temperature) reactions take place as described below: 1. Peritectic Reaction: A peritectic reaction, in general, can be represented by an equation: where, L represents a liquid of fixed composition, S1 and S2 are two different solids of fixed composition each. Fig. 1.23 illustrates the peritectic region of Fe-Fe3C diagram. The invariant [...]
