GasKarb is a industrial grade software which is used for simulating the one-dimensional
gas carburizing process for the plain carbon and alloy steels. It can also control the process on-line.
The code uses finite volume techniques to solve numerically the diffusion equations.
Use Cases :-
- Simulate & Optimize Gas Carburising process.
- Control Gas Carburising process online.
- Other heat treatment processes like nitrding.(With certain modifications)
Modelling Features :-
- Automatic Mesh Generation.
- 1D Solutions for Co-ordinate systems & Transient Solutions.
- Supported for various material compositions.
- Effects of various parameters such as carburising temperature, concentration of carbon, etc can be studied.
