The heat treatment process used to give steel a high resistance against wear is carburizing. Carburizing, also known as case hardening, is a heat treatment process that produces a surface on the steel that is resistant to wear while maintaining the toughness and strength of the core. This process involves heating the steel in a carbon-rich environment, such as a carbonaceous gas or a solid carbon source, at high temperatures for a certain period of time. The carbon diffuses into the surface of the steel, forming a high-carbon layer, which increases the hardness and wear resistance of the steel. Carburizing is commonly used in industries where components or parts are subjected to high wear conditions, such as automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing industries.
