The Thermodynamics of Steels: the carbon-carbon interaction energy

H. K. D. H. Bhadeshia

Abstract

Analysis of some accurate data on the activity of carbon in ferrite indicates that the true carbon-carbon pairwise interaction energy is finite and positive (corresponding to a repulsive interaction). The significance of this interaction energy in various thermodynamic models of interstitial solutions is also considered.
