Abstract

Medium carbon alloy steels are surface hardened by quenching the austenitized steel into a sulphurizing bath, held at above 500 DEG C. and containing alkali metal cyanide, alkali metal cyanate, active sulphur and, where necessary an inert diluent such as alkali metal chloride, soaking in the bath for long enough to produce the desired degree of surface hardness, and allowing to cool. The steel may be austenitized in a neutral or carburizing salt bath, or in a muffle or induction furnace, and then held for 1-2 hours in the sulphurizing bath at 560-580 DEG C. during which the austenite transforms to bainite, martensite, or a mixture of the two, the composition of the steel being chosen so that it does not transform into undesirable products at the working temperature of the bath. The treated articles may be cooled in air, gas, or warm water. The Specification includes an example of a sulphurizing bath made up by mixing 40 parts NaCN, 55 parts KCl and 40 parts Na2CO3, melting and bringing to 570 DEG C. and then adding 45 parts of sodium sulphite. After ageing for several days it contained 8.5% NaCN and 0.2% sulphur. Specifications 640,536 and 782,263 are referred to.
