Popis: This study was undertaken because of its potential use in catalysis as well as in metallurgy. Modifications of Hagg iron carbide, exhibiting differences in X-ray diffraction patterns and Curie points, have been observed; the differences appear to be linked to the mode of preparation. Carburization of reduced iron with carbon monoxide leads to ‘normal’ Hagg iron carbide with a Curie point at 245°to 250°; carburization of iron oxide produces Hagg iron carbide with a higher Curie point, up to 276°. The ‘high-Curie-point’ carbide progressively approaches the ‘normal’ form with increasing temperature and time of carburization. Possible explanations for the ‘high-Curie-point’ modification, based on the effect of oxygen, alkali, or crystallite size, are suggested. The Curie point of 247 ± 3°is that of pure, well-crystallized Hagg iron carbide.
