Including: Ferritic, Ferritic Steel, Ferritic Steels
Ferrite is the name of a phase in steel alloys. Ferrite is the name given to the alpha phase of steel. It is a phase which occurs as a primary solid at compositions of carbon below the eutectic composition and at lower temperatures. Ferrite forms part of the eutectic solid (called pearlite). It is of BCC atomic arrangement and, more generally, ferritic steel is steel made mainly of ferrite.
