As of now this is a theoretical question, but you never know when it might come in handy. how do you case harden a solid piece of steel? I will use a piece of solid rod as an example. would you heat this rod so that it is glowing red and then quickly plunge it in water or oil and quickly remove it before the interior cools? Or is case hardening a process in which only the outside layer of the metal is heated? The reason I am asking this is that i was helping someone re-harden a piece of steel today and they asked what case hardening was. I explained that it is when only the exterior of a metal part is hardened but the inside is not, making it strong but not brittle. I was not able to explain the process of how it is don though.
