Modern thermal and thermochemical treatment of steels is a rapidly growing research area.
Thermochemical processes are researched, designed, optimized, and controlled by …

The tooth width and length of face gear limit control the strength of face gear, and heat
treatments are often used to improve the hardness and strength of face gear. However, heat …

A review on carburization process modeling is presented and a new model for carbon
diffusion in steel subjected to heat treatment by vacuum pulse carburizing is proposed. Such …

Being a pivotal element within high-speed train transmission systems, the mechanical
attributes of bearings are of great significance to ensure the quality and safety of train …

A finite element model was developed to predict the deformation, temperature history,
carbon diffusion, phase fraction, and hardness during the carburizing heat treatment of …

A combination of simulation and experimental approaches to optimize the vacuum
carburizing process is necessary to replace the costly experimental trial-and-error method in …

Abstract As bearing parts, 12Cr2Ni4A is expected to have high hardness and excellent
fatigue strength, so carburizing is employed to improve the inherit properties of 12Cr2Ni4A …

As a low-carbon alloy steel, 20Cr2Ni4A steel has an excellent mechanical properties. It has
been used for producing heavy-duty gears, which require good wear and fatigue resistance …

Compared with the traditional atmospheric carburization, low-pressure carburization has the
benefits of producing no surface oxidation and leaving fine, uniformly dispersed carbides in …

The carburizing–quenching distortion (CQD) of the gear ring is difficult to control,
considering the heat transfer, phase transformation, and stress effects, so a numerical …
