THERMODYNAMICS OF IRON-CARBON-SILICON AUSTENITE,

Abstract

The carbon activity in the austenite phase region of the Fe-C-Si system was investigated at 1000 C, 1100 C, and 1200 C. An experimentally simple equilibration method was employed wherein small iron-base rods containing different silicon and/or carbon contents were sealed in a partially evacuated quartz capsule and held at the desired equilibration temperature for a time sufficient to establish carbon e8uilibrium. Eight carbon isoaccivity curves were obtained in the austenite field. Of these eight curves, four were obtained at 1200 C, three were obtained at 1100 C, and one was obtained at 1000 C. (Author)
