“…In addition, ferrite has a lower solubility for carbon than does austenite (see Figs. Both effects facilitate the precipitation of carbide M23C6 in a ferritic matrix, with the possibility that the precipitation times are shortened to such a degree that, according to Baumel [206,207], ferritic chromium steels may already become susceptible to corrosive attack during electric arc welding and after air cooling from temperatures above 900 0 C. Moreover, because of the low carbon solubility of ferrite, the precipitation range is shifted towards higher temperatures.
