ABSTRACT:
A process is disclosed for case hardening a ferrous metal. In the invention, the surface of the ferrous metal is exposed to diffusible carbon, boron and silicon in a furnace during multiple stages of a single thermal cycle. The furnace is maintained at a first temperature which enhances diffusion of the carbon to create a carburized substrate to a desired depth. The furnace temperature is then elevated to a second temperature to enhance diffusion of the boron and silicon to form an outer surface layer enriched with these elements. This results in a gradual transition between the carburized substrate and the boronized and siliconized layer.
