The cementation process is done by diffusing carbon on the steel surface at high temperature to obtain a hard layer that is resistant to wear on the surface. Beyond this, potential damages that may occur with impact as a result of the presence of soft core structures will be prevented. Compared to other surface hardening processes, this process is generally applied to obtain deep crustal depths. Gas cementation or cementation processes are a frequently preferred surface hardening process for steels with low carbon values. Gas Cementation furnaces are furnaces where this process is carried out. During this process, appropriate process atmosphere is provided and cooling is performed according to the graphic below.
