09/2020 Exhaust Gas Treatment for Low Pressure Carburizing Applications
Low pressure carburizing equipment is used with acetylene (C2H2) or propane (C3H8) as a carbon donator. Tthe parts absorb only approx. 60% of the carbon offered during the process. This leads to a higly energetic exhaust gas containing beside the original gases also polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and other harmful compounds.
