The iron-carbon phase diagram. While cementite is thermodynamically unstable, eventually being converted to austenite (low carbon level) and graphite (high carbon level) at higher temperatures, it does not decompose on heating at temperatures below the eutectoid temperature (723 °C) on the metastable iron-carbon phase diagram.
Low-pressure phase diagram of pure iron. BCC is body centered cubic and FCC is face-centered cubic. Iron-carbon eutectic phase diagram, showing various forms of Fe x C y substances. Iron allotropes, showing the differences in structure. The alpha iron (α-Fe) is a body-centered cubic (BCC) and the gamma iron (γ-Fe) is a face-centered cubic (FCC).
English: Iron–carbon phase diagram, at atmospheric pressure This diagram is limited by pure iron on the left and by iron carbide on the right. The mains phases are: iron: ferrite, ferritic steel; iron: austenite, austenitic steel; iron carbide: cementite, Fe3C.

English: Iron-carbon binary phase diagram: metastable (cementite) in plain line; stable (graphite) in dashed line. Caption: Fe 3 C: cementite (iron carbide); L: liquid; α: ferrite (alpha iron), body-centered cubic; δ: delta-iron, body-centered cubic; γ: austenite (gamma iron), face-centered cubic; solvus A 1: lower limit of existence of ...
Pearlite occurs at the eutectoid of the iron-carbon phase diagram (near the lower left). Pearlite is a two-phased , lamellar (or layered) structure composed of alternating layers of ferrite (87.5 wt%) and cementite (12.5 wt%) that occurs in some steels and cast irons .
The phase diagram shows, in pressure–temperature space, the lines of equilibrium or phase boundaries between the three phases of solid, liquid, and gas. The curves on the phase diagram show the points where the free energy (and other derived properties) becomes non-analytic: their derivatives with respect to the coordinates (temperature and ...
Iron-carbon phase diagram, showing the iron-carbon phase diagram (near the lower left).. In iron and steel metallurgy, ledeburite is a mixture of 4.3% carbon in iron and is a eutectic mixture of austenite and cementite.
