    The document discusses the Fe-Fe3C phase diagram and how it relates to the microstructures and properties of steels. Specifically: - The Fe-Fe3C phase diagram shows the different phases (solid solutions and compounds) that exist at different temperatures and carbon compositions when combining iron and carbon to make steels. - The microstructures that form in steel (like pearlite) depend on if the carbon composition is hypoeutectoid, eutectoid, or hypereutectoid based on the eutectoid point on the phase diagram. - Properties of different steels are controlled by their microstructure, which depends on both the steel's carbon composition and how it was

    Chapter 9: Phase Diagrams III: The Fe Fe3C Phase Diagram ISSUES TO ADDRESS...

    When we combine iron and carbon what kinds of steels do we get? In particular, if we specify the composition, what kinds of microstructures are created & how do they control the properties Steel is the most important structural material created by humans so what is the terminology of the Fe-Fe3C diagram & microstructures What are these microstructures, how are they created, what are their properties, and what applications are they used for?

    Summary
    The phase diagram of steel helps explain microstructure & properties: Given the temperature and composition of the system. -- number and types of phases present, -- composition of each phase, -- weight fraction of each phase For steel the most important phase transformation is the eutectoid Steels with %C less thatn, equal to, and greater than the euectoid composition are call hypoeutectoid, eutectoid, & hypereutectoid The microstructure of hypoeutectid steels contain proeutecoid ferrite & the microstructure of hypereuteoid steels contain proeutectoid carbide & the microstructure of eutectoid steel contains pearlite The microstructures and associated properties of steel depend on -- its composition, and -- the manner in which it was cooled.

    Homework #14 Fe Fe3C Phase Diagram Phases and Microstructures

    1.

    For a 0.30 wt% C steel (1030) at 728C and then at 726C, identify the phases present, the chemical composition of each phase, the fraction of each phase, and draw the microstructure and label the components of the microstructure. For a 1.20 wt% C steel (10120) at 728C and then at 726C, identify the phases present, the chemical composition of each phase, the fraction of each phase, and draw the microstructure and identify the components of the microstructure The microstructure of the reinforcing rod of Frank Lloyds Fallingwater house in Pennsylvania was studied and is shown at the right. Specify the microstructural components present and the wt% C in the steel.

    4. The properties of steels are controlled by the carbon content, the alloy content, and the thermal treatment. When a steel is cooled faster from the gamma (austenite region) below the eutectoid temperature, the lamellar, alternating platelets of ferrite and carbide in pearlite get thinner and are more closely spaced. Why do you think that this is so? What do you think will happen to the strength and ductility of the steel which has been cooled faster and why do you think that is so? Chapter 9 -
