Conclusions
-
1.
Carburizing at 930°C in a solid carburizer followed by quenching and tempering at the optimal temperatures increases the surface hardness of steels 3Kh2V8F and 5KhV2S.
-
2.
The case formed on steel 3Kh2V8F is better than that on 5KhV2S. The case depth in steel 3Kh2V8F is 1.0–1.3 mm after carburizing 6 h and 1.7 mm after 10 h. No network of carbides is formed.
-
3.
The following heat treatment is recommended after carburizing of steel 3Kh2V8F: heating to 1130–1140°C in a slightly reducing atmosphere, quenching in oil, tempering at 640–660°C, cooling in air.
