Abstract

A process for the chromization by gas of steels containing more than 0.2% of carbon, consisting of three successive treatments, the chromization treatment proper employing a cement having a ferrochrome base containing between 1% and 3% of carbon, and preferably 2%. The process is particularly useful in the chromization of structural and tool steels.
