Cementite or iron carbide is a chemical compound with the formula Fe3C (or Fe2C:Fe), and an orthorhombic crystal structure. QtubIronPillarJPG|thumb|right| Iron pillar at Delhi India containing 98% wrought iron]] Wrought iron is commercially pure Iron. Ductile iron, also called ductile cast iron, spheroidal graphite iron, or nodular cast iron, is a type of Cast iron invented in 1943 by Iron (ˈаɪɚn is a Chemical element with the symbol Fe (ferrum and Atomic number 26 For the Software development tool targeting the Symbian OS, see Carbide A chemical compound is a substance consisting of two or more different elements chemically bonded together in a fixed proportion by Mass. In Crystallography, the orthorhombic Crystal system is one of the seven Lattice Point groups Orthorhombic lattices result from stretching It is a hard, brittle material, normally classified as a ceramic in its pure form, though it is more important in metallurgy. The word ceramic is derived from the Greek word κεραμικός ( keramikos) Metallurgy is a domain of Materials science that studies the physical and chemical behavior of metallic elements, their intermetallic compounds, and their

It forms directly from the melt in the case of white cast iron. Cast iron usually refers to grey cast iron, but identifies a large group of Ferrous Alloys which solidify with a Eutectic. In carbon steel, it either forms from austenite during cooling or from martensite during tempering. Steel is an Alloy consisting mostly of Iron, with a Carbon content between 0 Austenite (or gamma phase iron is a metallic non-magnetic solid solution of Iron and an Alloying element Steel 035 water quenchedpng|thumb|200px|035%C Steel water-quenched from 870°C]] Martensite, named after the German metallurgist Adolf Martens (1850–1914 Tempering is a Heat treatment technique for metals and Alloys In Steels tempering is done to "toughen" the metal by transforming brittle It mixes with ferrite, the other product of austenite, to form lamellar structures called pearlite and bainite. Ferrite or alpha iron ( α-Fe) is a Materials science term for Iron, or a Solid solution with iron as the main constituent with a Lamellar structures or microstructures are composed of fine alternating layers of different materials in the form of lamellae. Pearlite is a two-phased, lamellar (or layered structure composed of alternating layers of alpha-ferrite (88 wt% and Cementite (12% that occurs Bainite is a Phase that exists in Steel Microstructures after certain Heat treatments First described by Davenport E Much larger lamellae, visible to the naked eye, make up the structure of Damascus steel, though the process has been lost to history. Damascus steel is a hot- forged Steel used in Middle Eastern Swordmaking from about 1100 to 1700 AD

Fe3C is also known as cohenite, particularly when found mixed with nickel and cobalt carbides in meteorites. Nickel (ˈnɪkəl is a metallic Chemical element with the symbol Ni and Atomic number 28 Cobalt (ˈkoʊbɒlt is a hard lustrous silver-grey Metal, a Chemical element with symbol Co. A meteorite is a natural object originating in Outer space that survives an impact with the Earth 's surface This forms a hard, shiny, silver mineral which was first described by E. Weinschenk in 1889. Year 1889 ( MDCCCLXXXIX) was a Common year starting on Tuesday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian calendar (or a Common
