Abstract
The behaviour of small amounts of Fe in brass is investigated using Mössbauer spectroscopy. Different samples, made from the same ingot material, but run through different annealing temperatures and duration times and then quenched to room temperature, have different amount of γ-Fe. The present work shows that a suitable heat treatment can increase the amount of these precipitations and, that a heat treatment at 650°C is the optimal one for having the highest amount of this phase.
