In order for carbon to be made available to the steel surface, the carburizing reactant gases ( CO, CH , H ) must get to the surface while carburizing product gases ( CO ,H 0, H ) are trying to escape from the surface. CarbCALC II uses a numerical solution to Fick’s 2nd law for carbon diffusion into the steel.

Heat Treat Cycle Simulation Software
Simulation programs provide heat treaters with a blueprint to the end result of a cycle
leading to precise case depth and a consistent carbon gradient delivering the best results.
CarbCALC II allows the operators to input material type, part thickness, shape, desired
surface carbon, case depth and total case and builds boost and diffuse time based on the
desired temperature and carbon potential. Using the Auto Boost and Auto Diffuse segments
the program completes these steps. Auto Boost will complete when the amount of carbon
above the desired carbon blueprint (aka carbon gradient) is equal to the deficient carbon.
The Auto Diffuse segment ends when the carbon above the carbon blueprint is depleted.
This provides you the time to run each segment for these steps of the cycle.
Additional segments can be added for heat-up and cool down or additional steps necessary
based on equipment and part requirements. “What-if” analysis can be performed by changing
temperatures or carbon potential to see the effects on the overall cycle. When used in control
mode, CarbCALC II will modify the time in the boost and diffuse segments based on actual
results. Data is gathered in real-time and if the steps require more or less time to reach the
end of the step, adjustments are made automatically.
