Carburising Astm A-216 WCB
Carburising Astm A-216 WCB
(OP)
Hello,
Has someone attempted do carburize astm A-216 WCB (GS-C25)?
Would it be possible to reach around 58 HRC surface hardness with this steel?
I'm doubtful due to it's carbon content being 0,3%.
Thanks in advance!

I'm aware that SAE 8620 is better suited. We have a lot of WCB that was used for other project and that is now descontinued, so we want to utilize the remaining steel in other parts. Since the other properties of the WCB go with our project, the carburizing part is the only one we are not so sure due to it's higher carbon content.
I guess my question is if anyone has carburized 0,3% C steel before and got a hardness close to 58 HRC.

I am confused. WCB grade is for pressure castings, how do you intend to redeploy such parts by carburising?
