Temperature-magnetization curves of C steels, ranging 0.15-3.9% C, indicate an abrupt lowering in magnetizability at 200°-220°. This lowering is proportional to the C content and, therefore, to the Fe3C content. Lowering of the magnetizability during the pearlitic transformation becomes less with increasing C content. Since Fe3C loses its magnetic properties at 210°, some of it was heated to various temperatures and temperature-magnetization curves were obtained. After heating Fe3C for 5 hr. at 500°, the curves showed no noticeable decrease at 210°. This indicates that after heating at 500° for 5 hr., Fe3C is completely decomposed into Fe and C. The probable effects of dissolved gaseous impurities, and of including the Fe3C in a structure of ferrite (as in steel), upon the decomposition temperature of Fe3C are discussed. The heat of transformation of Fe3C (magnetic=nonmagnetic variety) cannot exceed 0.02 cal. per gm. With a dilatometer the increase in volume at the temperature of the magnetic transformation (200°-215°) was 0.0714 mm.3 per gm. of Fe3C. This change in volume should produce noticeable changes in the physical properties of steels and, also, in white cast Fe. A study of the effect of the addition of Si, Mn, Ti, Al, and B upon the magnetic transformation temperature was undertaken. Al and Ti were without effect. 5% Si has little effect; 14% Si lowers the transformation temperature 100°; 3% Mn lowers this temperature 100°; 0.5% B lowers the temperature 200°. TARAMA, K.
