Abstract:
The simplest version of analyzes the effects of alloying
elements on iron-carbon alloys would require analysis of a
large number of ternary alloy diagrams over a wide
temperature range. However, Wever pointed out that iron
binary equilibrium systems fall into four main categories:
open and closed γ-field systems, and expanded and
contracted γ-field systems.
The form of the diagram depends to some degree on the
electronic structure of the alloying elements which is
reflected in their relative positions in the periodic
classification.
• elements which form stable carbides and also enter the ferrite phase
