Excerpt

This chapter introduces the basic concepts of the phases and constituents present in the simpler steels in conditions near equilibrium. The discussion focuses on the iron-carbon (Fe–C) system. Understanding these concepts is fundamental for a proper understanding of the transformations that occur during steel solidification, heat treatments, and thermomechanical processing. Discussion of the Fe–C system is of paramount importance to understanding many phenomena that also occur in complex alloy steels. …
