Questions and Problems 167 Fick's Second Law-Nonsteady-State Diffusion 5.D3 The wear resistance of a steel shaft is to be im proved by hardening its surface by increasing the nitrogen content within an outer surface layer as a result of nitrogen diffusion into the steel; the nitro- gen is to be supplied from an external nitrogen-rich gas at an elevated and constant temperature. The initial nitrogen content of the steel is 0.0025 wt%, whereas the surface concentration is to be main-...
Q#9) The wear resistance of a steel shaft is to be improved by hardening its surface by increasing the nitrogen content within an outer surface layer as a result of nitrogen diffusion into the steel; the nitrogen is to be supplied from an external nitrogen-rich gas at an elevated and constant temperature. The initial nitrogen content of the steel is 0.0020wt%, whereas the surface concentration is to be maintained at 0.50wt%. For this application, a nitrogen content of 0.10wt% at...
In the carburizing process the steel piece was exposed, at an elevated temperature (900 °C), to an atmosphere rich in a hydrocarbon gas, such as methane CH Surface concentration of carbon is to be maintained at 1.18 wt%. Determine the time (in hours) necessary to achieve a carbon content of 0 68 wt% at a position 0.8 mm below the surface. Initial carbon concentration is 0 18 wt% Take the diffusion coefficient for carbon in iron at 900°C = 1.0...

please answer highlighted part only and detailedely thank you compare and co describe one industrial application in which steady state diffusion plays an important role, use sketches as needed; (c) An FCC iron-carbon alloy initially containing 0.22 wt% carbon is carburized at an elevated temperature and in an atmosphere wherein the surface carbon concentration is maintained at 1.1 wt% carbon. If after 50.0 hours the concentration of carbon is 0.47 wt% at a position 2.2 mm below the surface, determine...
