Hexaferrum and epsilon iron are synonyms for the hexagonal closed packed phase of iron that is stable only at extremely high pressure. At a pressure of 130 kbar and room temp, the Bcc ferrite powder transformed to the Hcp phase. When the pressure was lowered, epsilon Fe transformed back to FerritRead more
- Hexaferrum and epsilon iron are synonyms for the hexagonal closed packed phase of iron that is stable only at extremely high pressure.
- At a pressure of 130 kbar and room temp, the Bcc ferrite powder transformed to the Hcp phase. When the pressure was lowered, epsilon Fe transformed back to Ferrite rapidly.
