释义 | > as lemmasalpha ferrite 3. Metallurgy. A relatively soft allotropic form of pure iron which has a body-centred cubic crystal structure and is the stable form of iron below 910°C (more fully alpha ferrite) and above approx. 1400°C (more fully delta ferrite). Also: a component of steel consisting of this form of iron containing a small proportion of carbon in solid solution.Alpha and delta ferrite are also called alpha iron and delta iron respectively.Between the above temperatures the stable form of iron is the face-centred cubic allotrope austenite (= gamma iron n. at gamma adj. 2a). Cf. beta n. 2g(a).

XXIX. 573/2 The iron thus liberated, as the ferrite of this pearlite, changes simultaneously to α ferrite. 1923 R. Glazebrook Dict. Appl. Physics V. 328/2 In commercial iron and steel the ferrite is not pure, but contains dissolved substances, of which the chief are silicon, phosphorus, and manganese. 1929 O. C. Ralston in Bull. U.S. Bureau of Mines No. 296. 201 Delta Ferrite. This substance, which is the first constituent to crystallize from melts.., is merely δ iron containing a small amount of dissolved carbon. 1957 Encycl. Brit. XII. 669/2 Pure iron or ferrite at room temperature consists of tiny crystals of so-called alpha iron, crystallized in body centred arrangement. 1984 E. P. DeGarmo et al.
