In this video, I’ll walk you through how to use the VCarb utility tool to design and optimize low pressure carburizing (LPC) schedules.
Low pressure carburizing is a powerful heat treatment process, but difficult process to control without advanced modeling tools. That’s where VCarb comes in. This utility allows you to simulate each boost and diffuse step, helping you visualize the carbon profile, carbide formation, and hardness progression throughout the cycle.
By using VCarb, you can reduce guesswork, minimize trial-and-error, and improve the accuracy of your heat treatment process planning. Whether you’re looking to shorten cycle times, fine-tune case depths, or avoid undesirable carbide phases, this tool gives you valuable insights before you even touch a furnace.
