Question

Problem: Determine the carburizing time necessary to achieve a carbon concentration listed below at a position listed below into an iron-carbon alloy that initially contains 0.11 wt% C. The surface concentration is to be maintained at 1.2 wt% C, and the treatment is to be conducted at the temperature listed below. Assume that Do = 6.2x10^-5 m²/s and Q_d = 166 kJ/mol. Utilize the Tabulation Error Function Value Table from your Examination Booklet.

--Given Values--
Position (mm) = 3.7
Temperature in Celsius = 1251
Final Concentration (wt%C) = 0.41
