Check out: http://www.efunda.com/processes/heat_treat/hardening/diffusion.cfm parts are packed in a high carbon medium such as carbon powder or cast iron shavings and heated in a furnace for 12 to 72 hrs at 900degree celsius. at this temp co gas is produced which is a strong reducing agent

What is BaCo3?

barium carbonateBaCO3 A white powder with a melting point of 174°C; soluble in acids (except sulfuric acid); used in rodenticides, ceramic flux, optical glass, and television picture tube's.It is also use for pack carburizing as a energiser i.e. pack carburizing is surface hardaning process in which %of carbon in steel is increases in surface area, by heating the samples in seal packed steel box at temprature range 8550c-9550c, and these boxes are filled with active charcoal powder and BaCO3 in 9:1 praportion so BaCO3 produce CAtomic (nasent C). this C atom penitrate in steel surface.


What is the advantages of carburizing?

Carburizing is a heat treatment process that enhances the hardness and wear resistance of steel by increasing its carbon content at the surface. This results in a hard outer layer while maintaining a tough, ductile core, improving the material's overall performance in demanding applications. Additionally, carburizing can extend the lifespan of components subjected to high stress and friction, making it ideal for gears, shafts, and other critical parts in machinery. Furthermore, the process can be precisely controlled to achieve desired hardness levels and depth, allowing for customization based on specific operational requirements.


What types of flame are obtained in oxy-acetylene gas welding?

When the correct amount of Oxygen is mixed with the Acetylene a NEUTRAL flame is produced. Less than that amount produces a CARBURIZING flame. Too much Oxygen creates an OXIDIZING flame. Most welding/cutting is done with a NEUTRAL flame but all flame adjustments have their purpose.


What is 'carburising' why and how it is done?

Carburizing is a method of hardening iron or steel by a heat treatment that causes it to absorb carbon liberated from a carbon bearing material, such as charcoal or carbon monoxide.
