CARBURISING STEEL

NORM: PN/EN 10084

APPLICATION:

Alloyed case hardening steel for the parts which require core tensile strength and high hardness. Susceptible to the large seized parts with high wearing resistance and loading such as: gears, screws, camshafts, bushings.

TECHNOLOGICAL INFORMATION:

Steel adjusted for cutting with a cutting machine. The carburising temperature range can be higher than provided in the file (depending on the carburising process)

SEMI-FINISHED PRODUCTS:

Steel adjusted for cutting with a cutting machine. The carburising temperature range can be higher than provided in the file (depending on the carburising process)

	Rolling		+	1150 – 850
Thermochemical treatment	Carburising		+	880 – 980
	Carbonitriding		+	860 – 950
Heat treatment	Annealing	Normalising	+	830 – 870
		Soft annealing	+	650 – 700
	Heat treatment after carburising1)	Core hardening	+	830 – 870
		Intermediate annealing	+	630 – 650
		Case hardening	+	780 – 820
		Tempering	+	150 – 200
1) If possible, hardening has to be performed with the temperature equal or close to the heat treatment temperature
