decarburizációjának
Decarburization is a metallurgical process that involves the removal of carbon from the surface of a ferrous material, such as steel or iron. This process typically occurs at elevated temperatures when the material is exposed to an atmosphere containing elements that readily react with carbon. Common decarburizing agents include oxygen, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. The carbon atoms diffuse from the bulk of the material to the surface, where they react with these agents to form gaseous products like carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide, which then escape into the atmosphere.
The primary consequence of decarburization is a reduction in the carbon content of the material's surface layer.
Decarburization can occur unintentionally during various high-temperature processes like annealing, forging, or heat treating, especially if
