SOLID SOLUBILITY
At temps of 1600-1700 F carbon can be added to the surface of steelt he material which can be useful for resisting wear and abrasion “Pack Carburizing”
• Unique to metals • Solid into Solid • Solubility Limit • Temperature effects
By exposing steel to ammonia at similar temps, nitrogen atoms enter the surface of steel “Nitriding”
