Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2009047084A2] The invention relates to a method for carburising steel workpieces, especially workpieces having outer and inner surfaces, whereby said workpiece is maintained at a temperature of between 850 and 1050°C in an atmosphere containing gaseous hydrocarbon. At least two different gaseous hydrocarbons are used and/or the workpiece is held alternately, during a carburising pulse (13), in the atmosphere containing the gaseous hydrocarbon, and during a diffusion phase (15, 17), in an atmosphere which is free of hydrocarbon. The invention also relates to a use of said method.
