Plasma carburizing and nitrizing.

Gas and Vacuum Carburizing

The solution algorithm used in CarbTool is based on the finite difference method (FDM), and the code is developed using Microsoft Visual C++ in Window OS. The tool has been built on the concept of the carbon flux at the surface between the gas and steel is to be specified by the user. The outputs of CarbTool are the carbon concentration distribution profile inside the steel part and the surfa...

Thermodynamic Simulation of Gas Carburizing of Steels

      Simulation of metallurgical processes has been the subject of intense research due to the reduced number of experiments required for controlling the process as well as time and energy savings it allows. In gas carburizing of steel parts, the amount of carbon at the surface of carburized parts is the most important specification of the process in terms of achieving the desired metallurgica...

Pyrolysis of propane under vacuum carburizing conditions: An experimental and modeling study

Propane has been pyrolyzed in a flow reactor system at different temperatures ranging from 640 C to 1010 C and at 8 mbar of partial pressure which are typical vacuum carburizing conditions for steel. Nitrogen was used as a carrier gas. The products of pyrolysis were collected and analyzed by gas chromatography. The reactor was numerically simulated by 1D and 2D flow models coupled to a detailed...

Comparison of Carburizing and Boronizing Processes on Mechanical and Wear Properties of PM Parts

In this study carburizing and boronizing processes were applied to powder metallurgy steel specimens and the mechanical and tribological properties of the substrate and coatings were evaluated under various process conditions.&#10The specimens, made from industrial test pieces, were carburized in a powder pack for a duration of 2-5 hrs at 850-950 ˚C. Similar specimens were pack boronized for 4 ...
