Carburizing steels typically contain about 0.10-0.20% carbon in their structure. For some, this ratio goes up to 0.25%. In addition to this, there are carburizing steels that contain alloy elements such as chromium, molybdenum, and nickel. The heat treatment applied to these materials is termed as the carburizing process. During carburizing, carbon diffusion occurs on the steel surface. Depending on the process temperature, the depth of the diffusion layer varies (0.5-3.00 mm). This results in a highly hard layer on the surface. Carburizing steels are used with a soft core and a hard surface, providing high wear resistance. The surface, being hard, wears out slowly, and since the cores are soft, the materials break gradually.
