Copper-iron alloys with 8 to 16 m/m % iron were prepared by melting me
tallic copper and iron in carbon crucibles in an induction furnace. Du
e to carburization of iron during melting, two melts were formed durin
g cooling of melt from 1400 degrees C, a copper-rich and an iron-rich
melt. Microstructures of obtained solidified melts were analyzed.
