Wear component with a carburized case

摘要

A wear component includes a base metal and a carburized case on the base metal. The carburized case may have a first region having greater than or equal to about 75% volume fraction of carbides and a second region having greater than or equal to about 20% volume fraction of carbides. The first region may be a region extending to a depth greater than or equal to about 5 microns from a surface of the wear component, and the second region may be a region below the first region and having a thickness greater than or equal to about 100 microns.
