The change in the density of carbon steel with phase at a temperature range from 1 000 to 1 973 K has been studied by a sessile drop profile method. Measurement of the density by a sessile drop profile method has to be carried out under heating conditions to avoid the influence of both undercooling and the shrinkage within the sample during solidification. The density of carbon steel was dependent on the phase but not carbon, silicon, manganese, phosphorus and sulfur contents.
The density in L, δ and γ single phase regions, (L+δ), (L+γ), (δ+γ) two phases regions and (L+δ+γ) three phase region could be predicted using the experimental results for Fe-C binary steel and steel contained alloying elements.
These estimated values are in good agreement with experimental results.
