For researchers familiar with the study of decarburization: In a high-speed machining process applied to carburized quenched steel, where machining temperatures are predicted to be near A1 and of short duration, could decarburization take place on this workpiece surface?
In a high-speed machining process applied to carburized quenched steel, where machining temperatures are predicted to be near the A1 transformation temperature and of short duration, there is a possibility of decarburization occurring on the workpiece surface. The proximity to the A1 temperature could facilitate the diffusion of carbon out of the surface layers, potentially leading to reduced carbon content and altered material properties in that region. Monitoring and controlling the machining conditions and using protective atmospheres can help mitigate the risk of decarburization in such cases.
Likhon Chandra Roy, High-speed Machining duration is short. While decarburisation takes time as in heat treatment. What is your view?
