Definitions for "Delta Iron"
Keywords:  allotrope, lattice, bcc, cubic, iron
The form of pure iron that exists between 1392C and its melting point in which the iron atoms are arranged in a body centred cubic (bcc) crystalline pattern.
an allotrope of iron that is stable between 1403 degrees centigrade and the melting point (= 1532 degrees)
The body-centered cubic phase which results when austenite is no longer the most stable form of iron. Exists between 2802 and 2552 degrees F, has BCC lattice structure and is magnetic.
