Carburizing
Carburizing is a surface hardening process where steel components are exposed to a carbon-rich environment at high temperatures (typically 900°C–950°C). This introduces carbon into the surface layer, which is later hardened through quenching creating a hard, wear-resistant outer layer while maintaining a tough, impact-resistant core.
Best suited for: Components subject to surface wear but requiring core toughness. Examples: Gears, shafts, sprockets, cam followers
Ideal if you’re looking for:
- Long service life under abrasive or rolling contact
- Improved fatigue resistance without compromising ductility
