Seite 160 - The solution theory of carburized iron affirms that this substance is, when fluid, a solution of carbon in iron, and that under certain conditions the solidified mass also forms a solid solution. It further affirms that these liquid and solid solutions obey the ordinary laws of solution, which have been fully studied in the case of aqueous, saline, and organic solutions. The solution theory can, therefore, be invoked to explain both the mode of solidification of carburized iron and the molecular...
