Atmospheric carburizing using the Carbo-Tool AMP is a thermochemical process used in metalworking, particularly for steel, to increase surface hardness and wear resistance while maintaining the ductility and toughness of the core.
Atmospheric carburizing involves saturating the surface of steel with carbon in a controlled atmosphere at high temperatures, typically in the range of **850-950°C**. This process uses atmospheric furnaces in which carburizing gases are employed, such as:
Carbo-Tool AMP is a tool that supports this process in the areas of design, simulation, monitoring, and control of the carburizing atmosphere composition.
It allows you to optimize process parameters such as:
the ratio of carbonizing gases,
depth of the carburized layer,
process kinetics.
Benefits of using Carbo-Tool AMP:
Process Precision
It allows for precise adjustment of the atmospheric composition to meet technological requirements.
Cost Optimization
It reduces the consumption of carbonizing gases and energy.
Quality
It ensures a uniform carburized layer with the desired depth and mechanical properties.
Automation
Integration with furnace control systems.
