Abstract

A program is presented which predicts the cost optimal input gas mixture required in a carburization process to achieve a desired carbon potential within the furnace atmosphere. The input gas blend used for this process is methane, propane, nitrogen and air, although the program may be easily modified for other common blends. The process has no endothermic generator, the input gas mixture is injected directly into the furnace and reacts therein. Thermodynamic calculations are based on the equilibrium composition of the reacted gas inside the furnace at specified temperatures.
