2) Remark: The temperatures stated for carburizing, core hardening, case hardening and tempering are recommended values. The actual temperatures ought to be chosen in a way that ensures the fulfilment of all requirements. The carburizing temperature depends on the chemical composition of the steel, the mass of the product and the carburizing agent. In general, at direct hardening of the various steel grades a temperature of 950 °C is not exceeded. For special procedures, for example in a vacuum, higher temperatures (i.e. 1020 °C to 1050 °C) are not unusual. At single hardening the steel has to be quenched from carburizing temperature or from a lower temperature. Especially in case of warping danger the lower quenching temperatures are always preferred. The type of cooling agent depends on i.e. the shape of the product, the cooling circumstances and the fill factor of the furnace.
