Abstract
The pulsed ruby laser induced reactive-quenching process at Fe/C6H6 Ibenzenel has been investigated using conversion electron Mössbauer spectroscopy [CEMS]. It is shown that iron carbide phases can be synthesized when an iron foil immersed in benzene is treated with ruby Laser pulses [λ=694 nm, pulse width ∼30 ns, energy density =15 J/cm2]. The results indicate the formation of ε-carbide and Fe5C2 phases in the as-treated sample and its transformation to Fe3C upon thermal treatment. The result of the CEMS measurements are supported by small angle X-ray diffractometry.
