carburization
carbon pick-up

Carburization is the basis for the wootz process of steel.

Carburization can be used to increase the surface hardness of low carbon steel.

Engineers using plasma carburization must decide which of the two mechanisms matches their needs.

The cementation process is an obsolete technique for making steel by carburization of iron.

For applications where great control over gas composition is desired, carburization may take place under very low pressures in a vacuum chamber.

It would be easy and simple to have him discover carburization and the necessary techniques of heat-treating.

Like nitriding, carburization also leaves some compressive residual stresses in the surface.

The first method and the most common traditional method is solid state carburization of wrought iron.

It is virtually impossible to have a workpiece undergo carburization without having some dimensional changes.

The horizon shimmered and danced with their exhaust; the air stank of carburization.

Their method was something similar to the method of carburization of wrought iron.

Decarburization (or decarbonization) is the process opposite to carburization, namely the reduction of carbon content.

Carburization of steel involves a heat treatment of the metallic surface using a source of carbon.

This can be combated with carburization, though it does not produce even carbon distribution, partially defeating the purpose of folding.

Although Roman iron-working was enhanced by a process known as carburization, the Romans are not thought to have developed true steel production.

Archaeological work at Akhsiket, has identified that the crucible steel process was of the carburization of iron ore.

One of the characteristics of this class of steel is the ability to be case hardened by carburization of the surface.

The process of carburization works via the implantation of carbon atoms into the surface layers of a metal.

The term case hardening is derived from the practicalities of the carburization process itself, which is essentially the same as the ancient process.

Carbonitriding is similar to gas carburization with the addition of ammonia to the carburizing atmosphere, which provides a source of nitrogen.

Acetylene is sometimes used for carburization (that is, hardening) of steel when the object is too large to fit into a furnace.

Concurrent with the transition from bronze to iron was the discovery of carburization, the process of adding carbon to wrought iron.

Metal smiths from this era had already developed a crude version of modern metallurgical processes, notably the hardening of soft iron through carburization.

"The key figure is Lord Tedric of Lomarr, the discoverer of the carburization of steel.

With crankshafts that operate on roller bearings, the use of carburization tends to be favored due to the high Hertzian contact stresses in such an application.
