Conclusions

  1. 1.

    Polymer-containing media greatly accelerate carburizing as compared with the standard carburizers commonly used.

  2. 2.

    It was established by means of pyrolytic gas chromatography and electron paramagnetic resonance that saturation from polymer-containing media is ensured by active carbon atoms whose source is the low-molecular compounds of the volatile fraction of products of pyrolysis of the polymers and the pyropolymers formed during thermal destruction of high-molecular compounds.

  3. 3.

    The polymer-containing carburizing paste developed (10–30% polystyrene, 10–30% polymethacrylate, and 40–80% binder-silicate glue or oil) is recommended for production.
