In a mass production facility, steel components are to be hardened by carbon diffusion. Would you carry out the hardening process at room temperature or in a furnace at a high temperature, say 900°C? Why?

What will be an ideal response?


Solids, in general, have different diffusivities in each other. At a given temperature and pressure, the mass diffusivity of copper in aluminum will not be the equal to the mass diffusivity of aluminum in copper.
