Carburizing
Copper Evaporation During Low Pressure Carburizing
Low pressure carburizing (LPC) in a vacuum furnace is increasingly the preferred method of case hardening aerospace gears, with some alloys like Ferrium C61 and C64 have been designed specifically for LPC.
Gear Market Offers Opportunities for Ingenuity and Innovation
Solar’s Souderton plant recently received a Nadcap accreditation in carburizing, allowing it to better serve the aerospace market. This accreditation joins Solar’s other Nadcap approvals for heat treating, brazing and fluorescent penetrant inspection. Additionally, earlier this year the company became an approved supplier for General Electric Aviation (GEA), UTC Aerospace Systems (UTAS) and Moog Corporation.
No Hydrogen Embrittlement with Low Pressure Gas Carburizing
Results of study of steel carburized at low pressure using a vacuum furnace show no evidence of hydrogen embrittlement, which should relieve any concern of the possibility of such an occurrence in low pressure gas carburizing.
Carburizing for Our Troops
Supporting our troops in times of war requires sacrifice, perseverance and innovation. The heat treating community was asked to perform a vital service for the war effort and vacuum carburizing answered the call.
Development Experience in Low-Torr Range Vacuum Carburizing
Vacuum carburizing has become one of the hottest topics in the heat treat industry and the development of low-torr range carburization is an important advancement for metallurgical applications.
Calculating the Gas Flow Rate for Vacuum Carburization
A proposed technique of determining the actual required flow rate of the carburizing gas into a furnace to provide the necessary amount of carbon for a given work load.
