Gas carburizing furnaces
Carburizing is a thermal process in which the surface of steel absorbs carbon released when the metal is heated in a carbon-rich atmosphere. During the process, the surface of the steel hardens. A longer carburizing time and higher temperature increase the depth of carbon diffusion. At the end of the process, the steel is quenched in oil, water, or polymer. Typically, the carburizing depth is 0.1–2 mm.
Using special protective paints, it is possible to protect selected parts from carburizing.
