austenite; austenite
Constituent of an Fe-C alloy observable at high temperature, whose face-centered cubic elementary crystal lattice is capable of solubilizing a high carbon content (approx. 2%) during insertion.
cementite; iron carbide
Defined Fe 3 C compound in Fe-C alloys, whose orthorhombic mesh is very hard and brittle.
dilution; dilution rate
The base metal's contribution to the chemical composition of the molten zone through its melting.
ferrite; ferrite
Constituent of an Fe-C alloy whose cubic-centered elementary crystal lattice can only solubilize a low concentration of carbon (approx. 0.02%).
