Notes:
The equilibrium diagram of iron-rich iron-carbon alloys has been determined by a combination of the methods of thermal analysis and microscopical examination of quenched specimens. The results are in good agreement with the curves given in other recent work, and confirm that Hansen was correct in rejecting experimental points which made the equilibrium diagram appear to be so uncertain.
