Conclusions
-
1.
The coefficient of mass transfer decreases during carburizing with increasing surface concentrations of carbon in the steel due to the effect of the adsorbed carbon on the rate of the reaction.
-
2.
With rising temperatures the variation of the mass transfer coefficient with the surface concentration of carbon increases.
