Computation of carbon concentration curves in vacuum carburizing of steels

  • Published:
Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

The boundary conditions of the diffusion problem in parametric form are determined on the basis of an experimental study of formation of carbon-saturated layers in vacuum carburizing. The boundary conditions are applied in a model of a process with cyclic modes of carburizing. Adequacy of the developed model is confirmed.
