Process Details
- Detailed Assessment: We begin with a comprehensive analysis of the metal to determine the ideal carburizing cycle for optimized material properties.
- Carbon Enrichment: Metals are heated in a carbon-rich atmosphere at elevated temperatures, allowing carbon atoms to infiltrate the surface layer.
- Controlled Cooling: The treated metal is then cooled under controlled conditions to establish a hardened surface while maintaining a ductile core.
Carburizing Properties
- Superior Surface Hardness: Increases the surface hardness of metals, enhancing their wear resistance and longevity.
- Core Toughness: Maintains a tough and ductile core, essential for applications requiring high impact resistance.
- Adaptability: Versatile process suitable for a wide range of steel grades, enhancing manufacturing flexibility.
Carburizing Applications
Carburizing is widely used to enhance the surface hardness of low-carbon steel parts. This process is essential in the automotive industry, particularly for gears, camshafts, and crankshafts, to improve wear resistance and fatigue strength. It is also used in the manufacturing of industrial equipment, such as cutting tools, fasteners, and bearings, ensuring durability and performance under stress. Carburizing effectively extends the service life of components subjected to heavy loads and abrasive environments, making it a critical process in metallurgy.
