Carburizing
Cincinnati Steel Treating (CST) has experience carburizing gears, shafts, plates, rings, and power transmission components. The carburizing process that CST carries out provides a hard case on top of a low carbon/soft steel core. This combines the benefits of wear-resistance on the surface with greater toughness for the overall cross section of the part.

Carburizing Capabilities
Cincinnati Steel Treating (CST) has seven different furnaces that are capable of carburizing. The dimensions for each of the furnaces are listed in the accompanying table. Five of the furnaces are internal quench furnaces where the parts are quenched under atmosphere. Two of the furnaces are long pit
Carburizing Applications
Carburizing is used as a surface treatment for many different types of parts. Most commonly, it is used to impart a case depth onto the teeth of gears. This gives the faces of the teeth hardness to resist wear along with a softer/ductile/tough core. The case depth that is imparted provides protection against
