Commonly used to enrich the surface carbon content of steel that case hardening provides. This is intended to produce a high-hardness, wear-resistant surface supported by a tenacious core.
Applications
Worm screws and steering sectors, camshafts, secondary shafts, gears for trucks, crossheads, crowns, pinions, and crankshafts. It is also used in the manufacture of cemented bearings.
