Problema 1
Considere la carburación con gas de un engranaje de acero 1018 (0.18% en peso) a 927 ° C. Calcule
el tiempo necesario para aumentar el contenido de carbono a 0,35% en peso a 0,40 mm por
debajo de la superficie del engranaje. Suponga que el contenido de carbono en la superficie es
1,15% en peso y que el contenido nominal de carbono del engranaje de acero antes de cementar
es 0,18% en peso. D (para la difusión de C en hierro γ) a 927 ° C = 1.28 × 10-11m2 / s.
Solución:
The time required for this diffusion process is calculated using Fick’s second law,

Problem 2
A gear made of 1020 steel (0.20 wt % C) is to be gas-carburized at 927°C. Calculate the
carbon content at 0.90 mm below the surface of the gear after a 4.0-hour carburizing time.
Assume the carbon content at the surface of the gear is 1.00 wt %. D (C in γ iron) at 927°C =
1.28 × 10-11 m2/s.
Solution:
D (C in γ iron) at 927°C = 1.28 × 10-11 m2/s.
>>>> Therefore the carbon content at 0.9 mm below the surface is 0.311 wt%.

Problem 3
An FCC iron–carbon alloy initially containing 0.10 wt% C is carburized at an elevated
temperature and in an atmosphere wherein the surface carbon concentration is maintained
at 1.10 wt%. If after 48 h the concentration of carbon is 0.30 wt% at a position3.5 mm below
the surface, determine the temperature at which the treatment was carried out.
