Ferritstruktúra

Ferritstruktúra refers to a specific crystallographic structure found in materials, most notably in iron and steel. It is a body-centered cubic (BCC) crystal structure where atoms are located at the corners of a cube and one atom is in the center of the cube. In pure iron, this phase is stable at room temperature and up to 912 degrees Celsius. Ferrite is known for its softness, ductility, and magnetic properties. The presence of ferrite in steel significantly influences its mechanical characteristics, contributing to its toughness and formability. Alloying elements can alter the stability and properties of the ferrite phase. The term is derived from the Latin word "ferrum," meaning iron. Understanding the ferrite structure is fundamental in metallurgy for controlling the microstructure and properties of ferrous alloys.
