Case-hardening or carburization is the process of introducing carbon to the surface of a low-carbon iron, or more commonly a low-carbon steel object, in...

the desired result such as hardening or softening of a material. Heat treatment techniques include annealing, case hardening, precipitation strengthening...

Case hardening is a weathering phenomenon of rock surface induration. It is observed commonly in: felsic alkaline rocks, such as nepheline syenite, phonolite...

special salt bath. Case hardening processes harden only the exterior of the steel part, creating a hard, wear-resistant skin (the "case") but preserving...

the receivers of firearms. Initially case hardening was used but did not offer any aesthetics. Colour case hardening occurs when soft steels were packed...

"hardening" is associated with tempered steel. Both processes are used hand in hand when hardening steel. The two part process begins with hardening the...

Calcium selenide (chemical formula: CaSe) Case-hardening, a process of hardening the surface of a metal object Case-shot, a type of anti-personnel canister...

process that diffuses nitrogen into the surface of a metal to create a case-hardened surface. These processes are most commonly used on low-alloy steels...

"Tenifer", "Tufftride", Melonite, and "Arcor", is a range of proprietary case hardening processes that diffuse nitrogen and carbon into ferrous metals at sub-critical...

stresses in the core. This results in unrelieved stress called case hardening. Case-hardened [wood] may warp considerably and dangerously when the stress...

point, all dislocation related hardening mechanisms become irrelevant. In work hardening (also referred to as strain hardening) the material is strained past...

Quench polish quench (QPQ) is a specialized type of nitrocarburizing case hardening that increases corrosion resistance. It is sometimes known by the brand...

charcoal packed around the sample to be treated (initially referred to as case hardening), but modern techniques use carbon-bearing gases or plasmas (such as...

Induction hardening is a type of surface hardening in which a metal part is induction-heated and then quenched. The quenched metal undergoes a martensitic...

flame hardening and induction hardening techniques, the steel is quickly heated to red-hot in a localized area and then quenched. This hardens only part...

steel on the outside. This made the plates hardened against damage without making them brittle. This case hardening was done by packing organic matter tightly...

surface layers on the steel. They may also apply case hardening to low carbon steel parts. Case hardening is a combined chemical and heat-treatment process...

produces the pancetta's distinctive shape, while the casing prevents case hardening in the latter stages of the production process. Following rolling and...

carbonitrided parts ranges from 55 to 62 HRC. Certain pre-industrial case hardening processes include not only carbon-rich materials such as charcoal, but...

outer layer is called case-hardening. Case hardening is the result of a large amount of heat dehydrated production, which hardens the exterior of the fruit...

Diffusion hardening is a process used in manufacturing that increases the hardness of steels. In diffusion hardening, diffusion occurs between a steel...

cobalt or other elements to maximize solution hardening. This also allows the use of precipitation hardening and improves the alloy's temperature resistance...

abrasion. When a metal undergoes strain hardening its yield strength increases but its ductility decreases. Strain hardening actually increases the number of...

similar to the process by which a case of steel is developed on a piece of iron in preparation for case hardening. A renewed interest in blacksmithing...

surface hardness. Copper-plated areas of mild steel act as a mask if case-hardening of such areas are not desired. Tin-plated steel is chromium-plated to...

that its pores shrink and almost close, leading to crust formation or "case hardening", which is usually undesirable. For instance in wood (timber) drying...
