Abstract
A computer-aided method based on a simplified mathematical model is described for predicting the time parameters of the two-stage boost-diffuse gas carburizing.
The main advantage of the computational algorithm lies in its simplicity. Computer times are much shorter than those required for finite difference calculations.
The required input data are the case depth, the surface carbon content, the chemical composition of the case hardenable steel, and the carburizing and diffusion temperatures. The output data are the predicted times for both the boost and the diffusion period and the calculated carbon profile. The application of the computation method is demonstrated by practical examples.
