G'day everyone, In a recent project I had to case harden some low carbon steel in order to raise the carbon content, so that I could quench harden it. I got a few questions about the method that used. In this video I would like to show you some of the test parts that I did before I case hardened the vise, as well as some of the improvements that I have made to the method. I hope you find the video useful. #machining #heattreatment #casehardening Useful Link: https://www.woodworkforums.com/archive/index.php/t-161107.html Timestamps 0:00 - Introduction (What is Case Hardening) 1:02 - Applications For Case hardening 4:01 - Carburization 6:14 - Pack Hardening 11:15 - Quenching and Normalizing Steel 13:59 - Water and Brine Quenching 15:14 - Sodium Carbonate + Charcoal
