Abstract (en)

A non-cyanide molten salt bath composition for the carburization of objects made of ferrous metals or alloys at a temperature in the range of 900-1050 DEG C comprises: (a) 85-99% of an alkali metal chloride or a mixture of alkali metal chlorides; (b) 0.25-8% of an activator, which is an oxygen containing compound barium and/or strontium compound and (c) sufficient amount of finely divided graphite to provide a continuous cover on the surface of the molten salt mixture. The ferrous metal or alloy part is immersed in the molten mixture at a temperature in the range of 900 DEG C to 1050 DEG C.
