During the case hardening process carbon will be infused
into the surface of the treated parts. This takes place
by warming up to a temperature of 880 to 980°C in a
carbureted atmosphere. Subsequently the temperature of the
work piece will be lowered to its respective hardening temperature
and then quenched to room temperature. Due to the different
heights of carbon content and the consequently different
structural conditions the same work piece bears different
characteristics. The surface becomes very hard and wear-resistant
and the core less hard remaining more ductility.
