Wikipedia
delta iron
At atmospheric pressure, three allotropic forms of iron exist, depending on temperature: alpha iron (α-Fe), gamma iron (γ-Fe), and delta iron (δ-Fe). At very high pressure, a fourth form exists, called epsilon iron (ε-Fe). Some controversial experimental evidence suggests the existence of a fifth high-pressure form that is stable at very high pressures and temperatures.The phases of iron at atmospheric pressure are important because of the differences in solubility of carbon, forming different types of steel. The high-pressure phases of iron are important as models for the solid parts of planetary cores. The inner core of the Earth is generally assumed to consist essentially of a crystalline iron-nickel alloy with ε structure. The outer core surrounding the solid inner core is believed to be composed of liquid iron mixed with nickel and trace amounts of lighter elements.

delta iron
Delta iron is a polymorph of iron that exists in the temperature range of 1394°C to 1538°C upon heating or cooling steel. It has a body-centered cubic (BCC) crystal structure, high melting point, and solubility for carbon and other alloying elements. It is not as hard as other forms of iron but is more ductile and has high thermal conductivity.
