What is Cementation Steel?
Cementation steels are low carbon, unalloyed or alloyed steels used in the manufacture of parts that are hard and resistant to abrasion on the surface, and softer and tougher properties are desired in the core, resistant to variable and impact stresses. Gaining these properties to the part is achieved by impregnating the steel surface with carbon. Cementation steels, gears, shafts, piston pins, chain diamonds, sprockets and rollers, discs, guide bearings, rolling bearings, rollers, some measuring and control instruments, medium-forced or forced parts, cold-blown or extruded parts It is used in the manufacture of parts such as cutting tools. The use of cementation steels provides the following advantages over the use of high carbon steels that will give the same hardness value on the surface.
-Because the cementation process is applied after the part takes its final shape partially or completely, it is very easy to process the part.
- If there are parts on the surface of the part that will be processed later and which do not want to harden, these areas are covered with a special paste or electroliquid copper. Since the cementation process cannot affect these parts, it is easily processed afterwards. Since the core region will maintain its softness after the cementation process, the distortions that may occur during hardening are very low.
- The inner parts of the cemented steels can be easily machined.
- Cementation steels are cheaper than high carbon steels, which are often in the case of tool steel, which can give the same surface hardness.
