Hans Grabke An in-depth review of the current state of the art on the carburization phenomenon, the thermodynamics and kinetics of the various reactions that can occur, and the reasons various materials behave as they do. Also covered in detail are the effects on various properties. Discusses the variables that are involved in carburization testing and establishes preferred parameters for two testing methods: Discontinuous Gas Carburization and Pack Carburization. Detailed are sample source, size and finish, cleaning, measuring and weighing, temperature and exposure time, gas composition or pack medium, and methods for assessing the degree of carburization. 1998 hardcover, 194 pages, ISBN 1-57698-015-4 |
