The alloy represented by the diagram is a body-centred cubic (BCC) alloy.
The diagram shows a lattice structure where atoms are arranged in a cubic arrangement with one atom at each corner of the cube and one atom in the centre of the cube. This is characteristic of a BCC structure. Many steels are BCC alloys. The arrangement of atoms in a BCC structure provides strong metallic bonding, resulting in high strength and ductility.
