3. Carbon transfer in the solid state
3.1 Homogeneous austenitic phase
To calculate the carbon mass fraction profile, it is necessary to know the carbon flux transferred at the gas-solid interface. In the case of carburization by the CO molecule in a CO – H 2 mixture, this flux is expressed by the following relationship:
