Cementite, also known as iron carbide, is a chemical compound of iron and carbon, with the formula Fe3C (or Fe2C:Fe). It is 6.67 percent carbon and 93.3% iron. It has an orthorhombic crystal structure. It is a hard, brittle material, normally classified as a ceramic in its pure form, though it is more important in metallurgy.

The iron-carbon phase diagram

In the iron–carbon system (i.e. plain-carbon steels and cast irons) it is a common constituent because at room temperature ferrite (essentially, the pure iron phase) can only hold 0.02% in solution. Therefore, in carbon steels and cast irons that are slowly cooled a portion of the elements are in the form of cementite. It forms directly from the melt in the case of white cast iron. In carbon steel, it either forms from austenite during cooling or from martensite during tempering. An intimate mixture with ferrite, the other product of austenite, forms a lamellar structure called pearlite.

Why is cementite stronger than ferrite?
Q. regarding structure, factors concerned...
Asked by hello!!!! - Mon May 18 02:59:00 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It isn't. Ferrite a A LOT stronger then Cementite (Iron Carbide) in terms of tensile strength (which is generally how such things are measured). Ferrite has a tensile strength of around 280 N/mm^2 Cementite has a tensile strength of around 35 N/mm^2

material science questions, plz tell me the reason?
Q. 5. Which of the descriptions are true for gray cast iron? (three corrected answers) (A)The carbon contents vary between 2.5 and 4.0 wt%. (B) Cementite formation is promoted by the presence of silicon in concentrations greater than about 1%. (C) The cementite exists in the form of flakes. (D) Gray iron is comparatively weak and brittle in tension. (E) Gray irons are very effective in damping vibrational energy. 6. Heating white cast iron at temperatures between 800 and 900 for a prolonged time period and in a neutral atmosphere (to prevent oxidation) produces which of the following alloy? (A) Ductile cast iron, (B) Gray cast iron, (C) Malleable cast iron, (D) Nodular iron, or (E) Tempered martensite.
