Sementtiittiyhdistelmä
Sementtiittiyhdistelmä refers to cementite, a chemical compound of iron and carbon with the formula Fe3C. It is an important phase in steel and cast iron metallurgy, characterized by its extreme hardness and brittleness. Cementite is the hardest constituent found in steels, contributing significantly to their strength and wear resistance.
The formation of cementite is a crucial aspect of heat treating processes like hardening and tempering in
In cast iron, cementite can exist as a stable phase, particularly in white cast iron, which contains
