Abstract
Carburizing is the thermochemical treatment consisting of introducing carbon to the steel surface by the atomic diffusion mechanism in order to increase the surface hardness of the material after it has been suitably tempered. This paper presents the use of residues from the burning of sugarcane bagasse as a solid source of carbon in the cementation process and the hardness variation obtained by the process is analyzed by Hardness Rockwell C measurement. Results indicate that the cementing process with sugarcane ash promotes the diffusion of carbon in the steel structure and increases the hardness in the steel around 19.3%
