A mathematical model of carburization of a complexly alloyed heat-resistant steel is suggested for predicting the chemical and phase composition and structure of diffusion layers that allows for formation of particles of the excess carbide phase in the carburization process. A computer-aided solution of the set of nonlinear equations makes it possible to compute the distribution of the carbon concentration, the volume fraction of the carbide phase, and the distribution of its particles over the thickness of the diffusion layer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
