gaskarburisering
Gaskarburisering, commonly referred to as gas carburizing in English, is a thermo-chemical surface hardening process used to increase the hardness and wear resistance of the outer layer of steel by diffusing carbon from a hydrocarbon-containing gas into the surface at elevated temperature.
The process takes place in a furnace with a controlled gas atmosphere. Typical carburizing temperatures are
Post-processing commonly involves quenching from the carburizing temperature to form martensite in the case, followed by
Materials typically carburized include medium- and high-carbon steels and certain alloy steels designed for carburizing. The
Advantages of gas carburizing include a relatively uniform and controllable surface hardening and suitability for complex
