The utilization of carburizing materials in engineering fields has undergone so many tremendous changes in engineering fields. Gas carburizing is one of the surface engineering techniques widely used in the process of heat treatment in all the engineering industries. Carburizing is a complex process; it involves a number of variables for the success of the carburizing process. Effective quality...

There were severe pitting corrosions on the surface of transmission gears in diesels. The cause of metal fatigue pitting of gear surface is analyzed in the paper, which based on the contact fatigue experiment of 18Cr2Ni4WA carburizing and quenching gears used in the diesel engine. Causes of pitting on harden tooth surface are studied from three aspects: gear surface residual stress field, oil f...

The carbonitriding process, which involves the diffusion of both carbon and nitrogen into the base steel, can be carried out in a salt bath or in a furnace gas atmosphere. It is a modified carburizing process but is mostly done at a lower temperature and for shorter time than carburizing. This process is one of the widely used heat treatments for surface hardening. Nonetheless, there are challe...

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...

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...

Original scientific paper The properties of metallurgical cokes obtained in a laboratory from pure coal and with additives (light atmospheric residue of oil distillation and coal tar pitch) after heat treatment to 1600 °C were investigated. Changes in the basic characteristics (density, moisture, ash, metal and sulphur contents) were examined. Crystallographic parameters (crystallite size, Lc a...

      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...

Within the framework of a systems approach, the design of a high performance stainless steel integrated processing/structure/property/performance relations with mechanistic computational models. Using multicomponent thermodynamic and diffusion software platforms, the models were integrated to design a carburizable, secondary-hardening, martensitic stainless steel for advanced gear and bearing a...
