A radial gradient of the iron abundance was measured in the central part of Perseus cluster. A numerical model for the chemical evolution of the intracluster gas of Perseus is presented. It predicts this gradient, based on metal enrichment of the primordial gas by winds from cluster galaxies. The model is applied to Coma and to other four clusters. The presence or the absence of an iron gradient in their central parts is predicted. No gradient is predicted for Coma. For the other three clusters the models shows that a gradient is likely provided that the quotient of the respective M/L ratios for elliptical and for lenticular galaxies be not exceedingly high.
