Abstract

Gives a summary of the characteristics of carburized steels and factors involved in controlling hardness, microstructure and residual stress. Procedures for determining of case hardenability are reviewed, in addition to procedures to test for freedom from non-martensitic structures in the carburized case. Also reviews factors influencing case hardenability and gives methods for predicting case hardenability, together with examples of calculations for several standard carburizing steels.
