Case hardening involves diffusing elements like carbon or nitrogen into the surface of steel components to create a hard exterior case surrounding a tough interior core. The main case hardening processes are carburizing, nitriding, and carbonitriding which involve heating steel in contact with carbon or nitrogen sources to diffuse those elements into the surface. Selective hardening methods like flame hardening and induction hardening locally heat only the surface of the steel for hardening. Case hardened c
