Notes:
From a theorethical study of the solubility of cementite in liquid iron it is shown that the solubility curves for graphite and cementite intersect at about 10 C below the eutectic temperature. A revised Fe-C diagram is presented which explains some of the solidification characteristics of cast iron.
