Low-carbon surface

A low carbon surface refers to a surface produced by a process that aims to reduce the carbon content on the surface of a material. This process can be used in the production of steel and other metallic materials to improve their hardness, strength and corrosion resistance.

By reducing the carbon content on the surface, a low carbon surface can have a number of beneficial properties. These include improved weldability, increased ductility and better adaptability to certain processing or environmental conditions.

A low-carbon surface can be produced by various processes, including carburizing, nitriding or carbonitriding. These processes aim to specifically reduce the carbon content on the surface while leaving the core structure of the material largely unchanged.

Low-carbon surfaces are used in various industries, including the automotive industry, mechanical engineering, toolmaking and many others. They offer a way to improve the performance and durability of metallic materials while meeting the requirements of specific applications.
