Carburization: It occurs when certain carbides (such as CO and hydrocarbons) come into contact with steel at high temperatures and decompose, releasing free carbon. This carbon penetrates through the surface oxide layer of the steel to form carbides. The products of carburization are low-strength, brittle materials such as oxides, carbides, and graphite. For example, in the petrochemical industry, the inner surfaces of cracking furnace tubes undergo carburization due to methane at temperatures above 800°C. Decarburization: It takes place when cementite (Fe3C) in steel reacts with gases at high temperatures, such as oxygen or hydrogen, resulting in its decomposition and thereby reducing the hardness and strength of the steel surface. Requirements for answering the question: Explain the concepts of decarburization and carburization respectively. Hint: As the name suggests.

The decarburization process involves carbon in steel reacting with hydrogen or oxygen at high temperatures to produce methane or carbon monoxide. Carburizing: It is a type of surface treatment for metals. Low-carbon steel or low-alloy steel is commonly used for this process. The method involves placing the workpiece in an active carburizing medium and heating it to the single-phase austenite range of 900–950 degrees Celsius. After holding it at this temperature for a sufficient period of time, the active carbon atoms released from the carburizing medium penetrate into the surface layer of the steel, resulting in a high carbon content in the surface layer while the core retains its original composition
What is decarburization and carburization of steel? Decarburization of steel refers to the chemical reaction that occurs between the decarburizing atmosphere in the furnace and the carbon atoms on the surface of the steel piece during heating. Carburization is the process by which carbon atoms are introduced into the surface layer of the steel. It also enables the workpiece made of low-carbon steel to have a surface layer similar to that of high-carbon steel; through quenching and low-temperature tempering, this surface layer gains high hardness and wear resistance, while the core part of the workpiece retains the toughness and plasticity of low-carbon steel.
Decarburization is the phenomenon of a decrease in the carbon content on the surface of steel when it is heated; during this process, carbon in the steel reacts with hydrogen or oxygen at high temperatures to form methane or carbon monoxide. Carburizing steel involves heating low-carbon steel in a carbon-rich environment to high temperatures (usually 900–950°C), allowing active carbon atoms to penetrate the surface of the steel and thereby creating a high-carbon carburized layer. Subsequently, through quenching and low-temperature tempering, the surface acquires high hardness, wear resistance, and fatigue resistance, while the core retains sufficient strength and toughness.

Similar is low-temperature nitriding treatment. This is a common heat treatment process for metal materials; it enables the surface of the workpiece onto which carbon has been diffused to achieve very high hardness, thereby improving its wear resistance.

1) Carburizing is a surface strengthening technique for steel, involving the infiltration of carbon atoms into the surface layer of the steel. Following quenching and low-temperature tempering, the surface hardness and wear resistance of the steel are increased, while the core retains appropriate strength and toughness. It is mainly used to manufacture parts such as gears, cams, and piston pins. To enable these components to withstand high contact stresses, impact loads, and wear. 2) Decarburization is the phenomenon of a decrease in the surface carbon content of steel when it is heated. The decarburization process involves carbon in steel reacting with hydrogen or oxygen at high temperatures to produce methane or carbon monoxide. Once the decarburized layer is formed, the iron is oxidized to form scale. For high-carbon tool steel, bearing steel, high-speed steel, and spring steel, decarburization is an even more serious defect. Carburization and decarburization are two opposite processes that have opposite effects on the strength of steel. To achieve good carburizing results, it is necessary to use appropriate processes during the steel carburizing process to strictly control the occurrence of decarburization.
