        In an atmosphere of CO₂-CO the main course of the reaction is 3Fe+2CO=Fe₃C+CO₂.  The theoretical considerations involved are discussed and experiments are described, which were to determine the equilibrium of the reaction and establish isotherms at 1,100°, 1,000°, 900°, 800°, 750°, and 710° on steels in which C ranges from 0.03 to 2.32%.  The equilibrium Fe₃C+2H₃=3Fe+CH₄ is also studied.
