Carburization: Improving the Strength of Steel with Heat Treatment

Posted on

Carburization is a process that transforms low carbon steel into high carbon steel, creating strong and durable products required for industries across the board including aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing. The thermochemical process introduces steel to a carbon-dense environment, via liquid or gaseous hydrocarbons, with the product outcome dependent on temperature and hold time.
