A Program for Predicting and Controlling Carburization Response

The program predicts the gas or pack carburizing and subsequent heat treatment response of alloy steels. In the carburizing part it accounts for non-equilibrium surface conditions, planned variations in carbon potential and a variable diffusion coefficient. The prediction of the heat treatment response is based on an accurate predictor of Jominy end-quench curves. Transformation to other shapes and severities of quench is achieved via Lamont's published empirical relations.
