Gamma-iron

Temperatures reached during phosphate-based cleaning programs are only modest, and under these lower temperature conditions the passivated film consists of gamma iron oxide (yFe203) together with primary ferrous phosphate [Fe2H2(P04)2] and tertiary ferrous phosphate [Fe3(P04)2]. 

Nanocrystalline gamma iron oxide (y-Fe203) recently been studied as a gas sensing material, has been synthesised at 70°C using sonication-assisted precipitation technique [21]. The synthesised material was then used for fabricating the...

Soft white, ductile metal high-purity metal is very ductile at ordinary temperatures occurs in three allotropic forms (i) body-centered cubic form, alpha iron stable up to 910°C, (ii) face-centered cubic form, gamma iron occurring between 910 to 1,390°C, and (iii) body-centered delta iron allotrope forming above 1,390°C.

The allotropy of elemental iron plays an important role in the formation of iron alloys. Upon solidification from the melt, iron undergoes two allotropic transformations (see Figure 2.9). At 1539°C, iron assumes a BCC structure, called delta-iron (5-Fe). Upon further cooling, this structure transforms to the FCC structure at 1400°C, resulting in gamma-iron (y-Fe). The FCC structure is stable down to 910°C, where it transforms back into a low-temperature BCC structure, alpha-iron (a-Fe). Thus, 5-Fe and a-Fe are actually the same form of iron, but are treated as distinct forms due to their two different temperature ranges of stability.

The properties of one polymorphic form of the same metal will differ from those of another polymorphic form. For example, gamma iron can dissolve up to 1.7% carbon, whereas alpha iron can dissolve only 0.03%.
