Microstructure of Iron-alloys part-1 by HapyMetal
Iron, especialy steel is a very fascinating material. With this series i want to show you the microstructure of Iron alloys. In this 1st part, i displayed the three 'basic' structures.

Compared to some people on here... You Guys = Einstein - Me = A blobfish. (Nice save, though. xD) -

Mainly durasteel has a lucasetic microstructure, but it's difficult so see because it's almost impossible to etch the surface. ;-)But seriously, there was really a patent in the late 70s named 'plasteel'. It was a compound of fiberglass and steel-wool, but it never worked really well, so it's almost forgotten today. -

in one of the saves you you should do one on durasteel and plasteel they are real things -

Another amazing save from you. Well done. -
HapyMetal 27th Jun 2016correction: "...there are many different alloys..." what i mean was "there are many different IRON-BASED alloys..." sorry for that.

HapyMetal 27th Jun 2016@lare290: Basically yes, but it's possible to stabelize Austenite at room-temperature and below by adding, for example, Ni to the alloy, but you have to go over A3 one time. Austenetic steel has a lower conductivity and is less sensitive to corrosion. This is known as 'stainless steel'. The first basic alloy itshelf is known as 16-10-V2a, but there are many different alloys that have an austenetic structure at RT.

So.. austenite is basically heat-treated iron? -
