<p>A process for production of a steel component having a hard, rich carbon soluted surface and a tough, low carbon soluted core, incorporating the following steps: using an alloyed steel with a carbon content of 0.3-1.2 % C and with an alloy element acting as a strong carbide former, and subjecting a component formed from this material to induction heating, whereby the core is heated to a level in the lower region df the austenite area, thereby creating a certain soluted low carbon level in the component core, and rapidly heating the surface region to a higher region within the austenite area, thereby creating a high soluted carbon content in the surface region of the component.</p> |
