Steels, which are alloys of iron and carbon, are one of the most commonly used industrial materials. The amount of carbon that is added to the steel dramatically affects the materials microstructure and mechanical properties. In this video we cover the ironcarbon equilibrium phase diagram and explore how changing the composition of low alloy steels impacts the microstructure by analysing the phases that form.
00:00 Introduction
00:23 Why is this important?
01:54 Equilibrium phase diagrams
03:23 Different ferrous alloys
06:26 Different phases of iron Ferrite and austenite
07:46 Ironcarbon alloys Ferrite and cementite
08:55 Ironcarbon phase diagrams
10:58 The eutectoid composition Pearlite
11:57 Hypo/hypereutectoid composition
14:42 Summary
This is a follow up video to a previous one on "How to use phase diagrams and the lever rule to understand metal alloys".
