the core of the object, which has not been impregnated with carbon, remains very ductile. The depth of the hardened case ranges from 0.5 to 1.5 mm (rarely more); the carbon concentration in the case decreases from the surface to the core. Carburizing and subsequent heat treatment improve the endurance limit of the metal and make the metal less sensitive to stress concentrators. The carbonaceous material used may be a solid (pack carburizing) or a gas (gas carburizing). Gas carburizing is usually used in mass-production plants because it is easier to regulate the carbon concentration in the case, the length of the process is shorter, the process may be completely mechanized or automated, and the subsequent heat treatment is simplified.</p><div><h3>REFERENCES</h3>Minkevich, A.
