ABSTRACT:
A method of gas carburizing is carried out at a carburizing temperature which is not higher than a peritectic point temperature at which δ iron and liquid phase are transformed into γ iron and not less than a eutectic point temperature at which liquid phase is transformed into γ iron and cementite. The method comprises the step of predetermining the limiting carburizing conditions at which the surface layer of a sample of a steel treatment object present in a carburizing atmosphere is austenitized without melting and the step of gas carburizing the treatment object under carburizing conditions which are set so as not to contradict the limiting carburizing conditions, at a carburizing temperature which is not higher than the peritectic point temperature and not less than the eutectic point temperature. The limiting carburizing conditions comprise an upper limit value of a partial pressure of carburizing gas at which the surface layer of the sample is austenitized without melting.
