Abstract
The depth and carbon levels of carbon profiles are a major concern in carburized components such as transmission gears. This paper describes a case study where carbon levels of carbon profiles were determined using wavelength dispersive X-ray (WDX) spectrometry in the scanning electron microscope (SEM).
