Carbon present in Fe combine with it to form Fe3C. Means we can add carbon as much as possible until all Fe is converted into Fe3C. Thus weight %of C in Fe when all Fe converted into Fe3C will be max wt% of C in Fe. For this Let us assume that we have 3 moles of Fe thus I can dissolve maximum 1 moleRead more
Carbon present in Fe combine with it to form Fe3C. Means we can add carbon as much as possible until all Fe is converted into Fe3C.
Thus weight %of C in Fe when all Fe converted into Fe3C will be max wt% of C in Fe. For this
Let us assume that we have 3 moles of Fe thus I can dissolve maximum 1 mole of C. Thus max wt% is =wt of C×100%÷total weight
Weight of C is=1×12g
Total weight=1×12+3×56
Max Wt%of C=12×100%÷180=6.6666%
Thus we use 6.67%of carbon in fe c diagram.
In other words fe – c diagram is fe- fe3c,diagram in which 6.67%carbon represent 100%of fe3c.
