Hello, I am a mechanical engineer, could use some input on metallurgical capabilities.
I have a round part that has diameters from 3/4", which are critical, down to less than 1/2". I need a deep case, around .06" on the critical diameters. I am looking to case harden, probably either carburize or induction harden.
I would like to have the deep .06" case on the critical diameters, but shallower (down to around .015"-.03") on the smaller diameters, to help avoid cracking concerns. Would either carburization or induction hardening be a suitable process to create this variable case depth?
Material would most likely be 8620 for carburization or 1038 for induction hardening.
(~60 hrc for the surface hardness, ~50 hrc for effective case depth if that makes a difference)
thank you in advance!
