An iron alloy with a carbon content of 0.05% C is heated up to 912oC in an atmosphere that produces 1.20% C on the surface and thus is maintained for 24 hours. Calculate the carbon content at 0.05 cm below the surface if (a) iron is CC and (b) iron is CCC. Explain the difference.

C-Fe bcc (Q= 20.900 cal/mol Do = 0,011 cm2/s ) C-Fefcc (Q= 32.900 cal/mol Do = 0,23 cm2/s ), ferror (0,0685)= 0,077, ferror(0,192) = 0,2139

1. In carbonitriding of an iron-carbon alloy (steel) initially containing 0.05 wt% C and no nitrogen is subjected to carbonitriding at an elevated temperature and in an atmosphere that gives a surface carbon concentration constant at 0.5 wt% and surface nitrogen concentration constant 0.2 wt%. Find the ratio of the diffusion coefficients ‘C in steel’/‘N in steel’ if after 36 h the concentration of carbon at a position 0.4 mm below the surface is 0.35 wt%, and the concentration of...

A sphere of iron is heated up to 1000° C. Once heated, it has a radius of 1 cm. Now suppose that we take the same 1000° C iron sphere and plunge it into a thermally insulated container with 1kg of 0° C ice. Calculate the temperature of the contents of the container once they have come to thermal equilibrium. Additional information: • The density of iron is 7.874 g/cm3. Assume that this density does not depend on temperature. •...

A 1.5 kg block of iron at 32 ∘C is rapidly heated by a torch such that 14 kJ is transferred to it. What temperature would the block of iron reach (assuming the complete transfer of heat and no loss to the surroundings)? If that same amount of heat (14 kJ ) was quickly transferred to a 890 g pellet of copper at 31 ∘C, what temperature would the copper reach before it begins losing heat to the surroundings? Use...
