  • Patent number: 4153481
    Abstract: A cyanide-free molten salt carburizing process and composition comprising an alkali metal salt bath having a cover of finely divided graphite particles in a size range of about 100 mesh to about 300 mesh. The bath is operated in the temperature range of about 1550.degree. F. to 1900.degree. F. and is provided with mechanical agitation to produce entrainment of air through the surface cover and sufficient mobility of carbon monoxide coated graphite particles to produce carbon diffusion by contact into the surface of the parts immersed in the bath. Total graphite content is between about 11/2% to about 7% of the active portion of the bath. The graphite is preferably of the synthetic type so as to produce an ash content below about 1%.
