Cast iron - tec-science The phase diagram below shows the complete iron-carbon phase diagram of the metastable system in which the carbon is present in the microstructure in the form of cementite. The microstructure in the metastable system can therefore consist of a maximum of 100 % cementite. Iron-Carbon Phase Diagram Explained [with Graphs] This iron carbon phase diagram is plotted with the carbon concentrations by weight on the X-axis and the temperature scale on the Y-axis. Iron crystal structures explained The carbon in iron is an interstitial impurity. The alloy may form a face centred cubic (FCC) lattice or a body centred cubic (BCC) lattice. The Iron Carbon Phase Diagram The Iron Carbon Phase Diagram. There is more to the iron-carbon phase diagram than related in the backbone. In particular, there is some nomenclature that I avoided in the main text but that is important for understanding other writings about iron and steel. So let's start with a phase diagram that c...
