BGH case-hardening steels are perfectly matched in their analysis to the requirements of modern transmission and drive parts. The required combination of core toughness and hard, wear-resistant surface is achieved by case-hardening or carburising the finished component.
The carbon diffuses into the surface of the component and causes its martensitic transformation during subsequent hardening.
