X-Ray Diffraction Pattern of Carbide in Low-Carbon Iron-Silicon Alloys

Abstract

A CARBIDE which has a needle-like appearance on a polished and etched cross-section is a common occurrence in hot-rolled 3.25 per cent silicon iron. It is metastable with respect to cementite and can be formed by a variety of heat treatments1.
