    FURNACE VALIDATION FOR


    CARBURIZING PROCESS

    9 samples, as mentioned in
    the sketch, are to be cut
    and checked for case
    depth.
    If all readings are found
    within 0.05mm the furnace
    condition is suitable for
    uniform carburizing process
    hence it is validated.
    This exercise should be
    repeated every 6 months.

    SAFETY FIRST ( LEARNING FROM PAST)

    Level of quenching oil should be up to the mark.


    Quenching oil bath should be free from water content.

    Unburnt gas is dangerous, always maintain pilot flame.

    Quenching process to be carried out on generator supply.

    CO is very hazardous gas.

    Endothermic gas is explosive below 750 ⁰C.
