Chroming of Steels

Abstract

The time penetration relationship at various temperatures and other factors that affect the chromizing process were studied. Low carbon iron alloys and steels containing alloying elements that form stable carbides can be chromized successfully. However, plain carbon steels cannot be chromized. The chromized layers can be hardened by carburizing to 730 Brinell.
