TY - JOUR AU1 - Podoinitsyn, V. AB - 1. The flame produced by burning propane—butane and acetylene in oxygen is stable, has a high carburizing capacity, and is suitable for high-temperature carburizing. 2. The structure of the flame depends on the ratio of acetylene and propane—butane, and the ratio of oxygen and the gas mixture. The heating and carburizing capacity of the flame increases with the percentage of acetylene in the mixture. 3. During carburizing with a gas—oxygen flame the gaseous phase has the highest carburizing potential, not attainable with other methods of carburizing, which leads to formation of a case beginning from the surface of the ledeburite zone. 4. The process of flame carburizing is divided into two time periods — a short first period characterized by a high rate of carburizing and a second period of relatively slow carburizing. 5. The carbon concentration in the case can be controlled by changing the carburizing capacity of the flame.
