Summary:

This study examines the effects of pack carburizing, a type of case-hardening heat treatment, and other heat treatment processes on the microstructure and behavior of AISI 1080 mild steel.

How was DANTE Used?:

DANTE was used to help develop, evaluate, and validate the heat treatment process recipes used for the AISI 1080 mild steel.
