Scientific paper

X-ray diffraction studies of kamacite ( -iron) indicate the unusual nature of its shock-induced alteration and suggest the influence of an unstable polymorph, probably -iron. Although shock-induced random disorder in kamacite can be simulated by isotropic annealing, preferred disorder apparently cannot be thus induced. The ready detection, by X-ray diffraction, of shock effects in kamacite serves to make it a useful barometer in the 130-750 kb range, particularly in cases where optical microscopy gives equivocal results.
