Abstract

Steel is an alloy of iron with carbon in different proportions. The maximum carbon content in this alloy is 2.11 wt. % if the alloy does not contain other alloying elements. This chapter is dedicated to the study of the crystalline structures of the iron, as well as to the examination of the solid-state transformations in the iron-carbon system. These include the non-equilibrium transformation by isothermal cooling of the austenite into pearlite, bainite, and martensite. These transformations are studied by means of the TTT curves (Transformation-Temperature–Time). Characteristics of these different phases are described in this chapter, which concludes with the designation and standardization of steels.
