In gaseous carburizing, measurement of the carbon content is an important process. Accurate control of carbon potential and the amount of carbon that is diffused into workpieces are part of that process. It relies on measurements obtained from furnace control instrumentation and carbon analysis to verify the measurement’s validity and reliability. Carbon-analysis methods like shim stock essentially verify that readings obtained by the oxygen probe or other control devices are accurate.
