Beta Iron <FHD × 8K>

In the late 1800s, metallurgists noticed that when iron reached roughly 768∘C768 raised to the composed with power C

(the Curie point ), its physical properties seemed to shift. They categorized iron into distinct Greek-lettered phases based on temperature: Stable, magnetic iron at room temperature. Beta ( ): What they thought was a new non-magnetic phase. Gamma ( ): A legitimate structural change starting at 912∘C912 raised to the composed with power C The Scientific "Twist" beta iron

The "proper story" emerged when advanced X-ray crystallography proved that as a separate crystal structure. In the late 1800s, metallurgists noticed that when

The atoms in "beta iron" stay in the exact same body-centered cubic (BCC) arrangement as alpha iron. The Only Change: The iron simply loses its magnetism. In the late 1800s
