Outstanding LPC Case Hardening of Pyrowear Alloy 53

摘要

Pyrowear Alloy 53 steel is an excellent material for the construction of drive transmission components (gears, shafts, etc.) that must operate in difficult conditions, primarily in the aviation industry (Fig. 1). Among the properties of such items is high case hardness and abrasion resistance, while the core remains flexible and is capable of carrying large impact loads. They can work at elevated temperatures with limited lubrication. The thermal treatment of such materials is based on case hardening by carburizing.
