The mass transfer during carburising in a fluidised bed and in a steel workpiece has been studied experimentally in this work. This involved carburising experiment in an electrically heated fluidised bed at 900–970°C with natural gas and air as the atmosphere. A steel workpiece was designed to provide a range of carbon transfer surfaces of different geometries in the fluidised bed, and the carbon transfer coefficient was measured at these surfaces. The carbon transfer coefficient was determined from the carbon distribution within the diffusion layer of the sample. An empirical relationship of the carbon potential as a function of carburising atmosphere, bed temperature and fluidising velocity was determined, based on the understanding of the mass transfer mechanism and analysis of the experimental results.
