Kamacite is an
alloy of iron and nickel,
which is
found on
Earth only in meteorites.
According to the

-
interleaving of
kamacite and
taenite bands or
ribbons called lamellae. Commonly, in gaps
between the lamellae, a fine-grained
mixture of
kamacite and taenite...

Akebulake and
WuQilike in turn
consist mainly of

- iron has a
certain nickel concentration that
leads to the
exsolution of
kamacite out of
taenite while cooling.
Octahedrites derive their name from the crystal...
