Fe--Al Oxides: Phase Relationships below 1,000 C

Abstract
The subsolidus phase relationships of magnetite, hercynite, hematite, corundum, wostite, and iron are described. The phases were synthesized from chemical mixtures. Reactions and solid solution between them were induced under controlled conditions of composition, temperature, total vapor pressure, and partial pressure of oxygen. Reaction rates are slow, so that the experiments lasted from 1 to 40 days, and quenching is completely successful.
