A plate of iron is exposed to a carburizing (carbon-rich) atmosphere on one side and a decarburizing (carbon-deficient) atmosphere on the other side at 700℃. If a condition of steady-state is achieved, calculate the diffusion flux of carbon through the plate if the concentrations of carbon at positions of 5 and 10 mm beneath the carburizing surface are 1.2 and 0.8 ??/?^3, respectively. Assume a linear concentration profile and a diffusion coefficient of 3 × 10−11 ?^2/? at this temperature.
In carburizing an alloy that initially has a uniform carbon concentration of .25 wt% and is to be treated at 1223 K, if the concentration of carbon at the surface is suddenly brought to and maintained at 1.20 wt%, how long will it take to achieve a carbon content of 0.80 wt% at a position of 0.5 mm below the surface? The diffusion coefficient for carbon in iron at this temperature is 1.6 x 10-11 m 2 /s.
A large 0.55wt%C-steel piece is heated to 1052?C and exposed to oxygen-rich atmosphere. Thus, the steel’s surface carbon concentration is maintained at 0wt%C (carbon-free). (This process is called decarburization). D=4.37x10^-11 m^2/s Determine the depth at which the carbon concentration reach 0.25wt% after a 10-hour decarburization treatment at 1052 C
6. (10) For a steel alloy at 900'C, it has been determined that a carburizing heat treatment of 8 hours will raise the carbon concentration to 0.35 W% at a point 0 mm from the surface.

4) A piece of steel is to be hardened by nitrogen diffusion into its outer layer. The initial nitrogen content of the steel is 0.010 wt%, and the surface concentration (from an external nitrogen-rich gas) is to be maintained at 0.75 wt%. Goal: nitrogen content of 0.25 wt% at a position of 0.50 mm below the surface. Specify a minimum of three appropriate heat treatments (time and temperature combinations) for temperatures between 600°C and 850°C (use the minimum and maximum...
2 a) It is given that a carburizing heat treatment of 10-hour duration of a steel alloy will raise the carbon content to 0.45 wt% at a point 2.5 mm away from the surface. Compute the time required to get the same concentration at a 5.0-mm position from the surface at the same carburizing temperature for an identical steel alloy (Hint: The diffusion coefficient will be a constant for two identical materials at a given temperature). b) What is the...

2. An FCC iron-carbon alloy initially containing 0.40 wt% C is exposed to an oxygen-rich and virtually carbon-free atmosphere at 1325 K (1052°C). Under these circumstances the carbon diffuses from the alloy and reacts at the surface with the oxygen in the atmosphere-that is, the carbon concentration at the surface position is maintained essentially at 0 wt% C. (This process of carbon depletion is termed decarburization.) At what position will the carbon concentration be 0.25 wt% after a...
