The diffusion of carbon into solid iron by heat treatment in a carbon rich atmosphere.
An elevated temperature process by which a ferrous metal absorbs carbon into the surface when exposed to a high-carbon environment. Carbon atoms diffuse into the metal to create a high-carbon zone near the surface.
The introduction of carbon into the surface layer of a steel that has a low carbon content. The process is carried out by heating the components in a solid liquid, or gaseous carbon containing medium. The depth of penetration of carbon into the surface is controlled by the time and temperature of the treatment. After carburising it is necessary to harden the components by heating to a suitable temperature and quenching.
A process that introduces carbon into a solid ferrous alloy by heating the metal in contact with a carbonaceous material-solid, liquid or gas-to a temperature above the transformation range and holding at that temperature. Carburizing is generally followed by quenching to produce a hardened case.
A process in which carbon is introduced into a solid iron-base alloy by heating above the transformation temperature range while in contact with a carbonaceous material which may be a solid, liquid or gas. Carburizing is frequently followed by quenching to harden steel.
Adding carbon to the surface of steel by heating it in contact with carbon rich gases.
A process that introduces carbon into a solid ferrous alloy by heating the metal in contact with a carbon material, solid, liquid, or gas to a temperature above the transformation range and holding it at that temperature for a period of time.
Adding carbon to iron base alloys by absorption through heating the metal at a temperature below its melting point ' contact with carbonaceous materials. The oldest method of case hardening. (See Cementation.)
Occurs when carbon is introduced into the surface layer of a low carbon steel by heating either a solid, liquid or gaseous medium which contains carbon. Penetration into the surface of the steel increases with heightens temperatures and increased time in this process. Quench and tempering is necessary to harden the steel following carburization.
The application of carbon to a low-carbon steel surface to increase the strength of the steel. Carburizing is achieved through heating the steel in a substance containing carbon, followed by hardening the steel through heating and quenching the steel.
the process by which the surface carbon concentration of a ferrous alloy is increased by diffusion from the surrounding environment.
a heat treating process, which allows the surface of a low carbon steel gear or sprocket to be hardened to high hardness but to only a shallow depth. This process is usually applied "all over" or to the entire surface of the part. This type of treatment makes post heat-treat machining processes difficult. If desired, specific areas of parts can be masked prior to carburizing to prevent the introduction of carbon into the steel's surface and thereby preventing hardening of the masked areas when quenched.
The absorption of carbon atoms by a metal at high temperatures; it may remain dissolved, or form metal carbides; Absorption and diffusion of carbon into solid ferrous alloys by heating, to a temperature usually above Ac in contact with a suitable carbonaceous material. A form of case hardening that produces a carbon gradient extending inward from the surface, enabling the surface layer to be hardened either by quenching directly from the carburizing temperature or by cooling to room temperature then re austenitizing and quenching.
is adding carbon to the surface of steel by heating the metal in contact with carbonaceous solid"s, liquids, or gases. The depth of the penetration of carbon into the surface is controlled by the time and temperature of the treatment. After carburizing it is necessary to harden the components by heating to a suitable temperature and quenching.
