A Solid-Liquid Diffusion Couple Study of a Peritectic Reaction in Iron-Carbon System.

Abstract

5-iron and melted high carbon steel with carbon contents of the solvus and liquidus lines, respectively, in an iron-carbon equilibrium phasediagram, were held in contact with each other at 1 696 K. Thethickness of the y-phase formed between the 6-phase and the liquid phase was measured, The relationship between the thickness x (~m) and the holding time t (s) was found to be x=85.7to 50
