Chapter 9.13, Problem 93SEP
(a) For a plain-carbon steel with 1 wt % carbon content at 900°C, on average, how many carbon atoms can you find in 100 unit cells? (b) If this alloy is cooled to just below 727°C, on average, how many carbon atoms can you find in 100 unit cells in the ferrite phase, α? (c) If at room temperature, the carbon content of ferrite drops to 0.005 wt %, on average, how many unit cells would you have to search to find one carbon atom? Can you explain the differences in the three answers?
