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.
