Case Hardening Experiments Mod-Up
David Jupp:
The speed/depth of carburisation will be diffusion controlled (temperature & time), largely regardless of steel composition.
Steel chemistry may be modified with other elements to further increase hardenability, or to promote fine & uniform grain size in core (toughness, reduced distortion on quenching), or to improve machinability. Typically larger or more highly stressed components will require higher alloy addition (and hence more expensive) steels.

Naturally. my interest in making case hardening more easily do-able in the home workshop is aimed at non-specialty steels.

Interesting Steve :thumbup:
You say easy to get items/chemicals ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,can I use Ebay ? as I am finding that getting hold of Prussiate of potash is easier than the"pith of a rams horn " ,no listing for the latter :Doh:

vtsteam:
Rob you can use any source you want -- no rules here!

You should have said Rob - I have two Rams Horns drying on a beam in the stable - you want the pith it's yours :ddb:
