Gamma-iron occurs between the temperature ranges of
A. 400°C to 600°C
B. 600°C to 900°C
C. 900°C to 1400°C

Answer: Option C
Solution(By Examveda Team)
As the iron cools further to 1,394°C its crystal structure changes to a face centered cubic (FCC) crystalline structure. In this form it is called gamma iron (γ-Fe) or Austenite. γ-iron can dissolve considerably more carbon (as much as 2.04% by mass at 1,146°C). This γ form of carbon saturation is exhibited in stainless steel.Related Questions on Engineering Materials
