What is the carbon concentration of an iron-carbon alloy for which the fraction of total ferrite is 0.94?
The carbon concentration of an iron-carbon alloy for which the fraction of total ferrite is 0.94 is 0.06. Since the fraction of ferrite in the alloy is 94/100, the fraction of carbon must be 6/100 to make a total of 100/100.
What is the answer if the iron and carbon will be add?
If you want to add carbon to an iron alloy all you need to do is melt the iron in the presence of carbon. The carbon will be absorbed and alloy automatically. Carbon can also be added to a thin layer of the surface of a piece of solid iron alloy without melting simply by heating the iron red hot and covering it with carbon for a period of time.
