While cooling from the molten state down to 1,138 °C (2,080 °F), it solidifies into a bodycentred cubic structure called the delta ( δ) phase; from that point down to 1,100 °C (2,000 °F) it is in the facecentred cubic gamma ( γ) phase, and from this point down to room temperature it goes through the beta ( β) and alpha ( α) phases.
