Gas carburizing is a process that many industries rely on for transforming low-carbon steel elements into pieces with a gradient hardness capable of resisting wear. Untreated low-carbon steel wears at a rate too fast to suit the needs of many industrial and transportation applications; standard low-carbon steel simply cannot stand up to the demands of rail, aerospace, and industrial use. This process makes low-carbon steel more tough, durable, and able to handle the demands of these industries.
Both the machinability of steel and its hardness depend on the amount of carbon present inside its structure. Changing the amount of carbon present transforms the steel so it is more precisely suited to various outcomes. High-carbon steel has a reputation for being very brittle. The steel must have both flexibility and strength. Case-hardening creates a very hard exterior with a tough interior. This is the perfect combination required for today’s most demanding industries.
