Performance Evaluation of Gas Carburizing Chamber

The work centres on development of gas carburizing chamber. The design closely revealed a parameter and feature such as; the casing design, the insulating system, the heating system electrical system control system parametric method of design material selection and calculation for furnace gives maximum output. This work focuses on the effects of carburization process on the mechanical properties of carburized mild steel, at constant temperature, 900°C with different time, 2 hours and 3 hours quenched in water. The objectives of this project are to study the influence of carburization process for mild steel and to study the material performance after carburization process. After carburization process, the test samples were subjected to standard test. The case hardness of the carburized samples were measure. It was observed that the mechanical properties of mild steels were found to be strongly influenced by the process of carburization. It was conclude that the sample carburized at 900°C soaked for three hours followed by water quenching were better because they showed the higher hardness.
