Abstract

In agreement with B. E. C. thermodynamic results, it is found by Mössbauer spectroscopy that high carbon iron-carbon austenite is an ideal solid solution of the carbon atoms distributed in the octahedral interstitial sites. On the other hand Mössbauer spectra for unaged martensite have been reinterpreted on the basis of Lysak’s hypothesis that half of the carbon atoms occupy tetrahedral rather than octahedral interstitial sites.
