Introduction:
Diffusion on a manufacturing industry is a process of increasing the harness of the metal itself usually is for the alloy that contain carbon, which usually a …show more content…
And to show what is the actually effect of the carbonized and non-carbonized metal there is a graph to show the hardness between the carbonize furnace cool, water quench, and non-carbonize furnace cool, and water quench. From the result it showed that for the normal air cool no matter is carbonized or non-carbonized the hardness wouldn’t really change too much because of the temperature. However, on the water quick quench that it showed that the one with faster cooling with the carbonized alloy, the hardness will be increased twice or more to compare the center or the alloy itself. For the non-carbonized alloy, it showed that it has a higher hardness from the surface and its overall hardness were increase which the center of the hardness is also higher than the water quench. To have a further more calculation to find out the depth of the case hardening with the Fick’s 2nd law, it able to proof that the heat treatment and the cooling rate will actually effect to the hardness of the alloy. And here is the …show more content…
C_0 will be .26% and for the C_x the one with carbon powder surface because since there is a carbon covered, will be assumed is 6.67%wt of carbon assume is the maximum wt%, c_s will be unknown, and get x from the distance from the edge. Once all those data were input, the number will be showed as a graph. From the calculation it showed pretty clearly that the %of the carbon contain was close to the fact which is during the heat process with the carbon powder, most of the carbon powder will be diffuse into the alloy surface, but the further it goes the less carbon it can get it is because the heat wasn’t able to transfer evenly to every part of the metal. Which it lead to it the closer to the center of the metal, the less carbon contain it will have for the case hardening
