Conclusions
-
1.
The dissolution of graphite in iron may take place with the formation of a liquid phase; the temperature at which this phase appears is determined by the amount of ash impurities in the graphite.
-
2.
The pearlite produced as a result of impregnation of iron with carbon forms discrete fields arranged in directions of preferential diffusion of carbon into iron rather than a continuous zone around the periphery of the impregnation source.
-
3.
The appearance of a large quantity of a liquid phase accompanying the sintering of iron with a high-ash graphite is chiefly responsible for the formation of structurally free cementite.
