All samples on this test were packed in thesame carburizing pot. ^ iv ■ li- ^< ■ i ■ . .■ ^l *.-<<.rH-^ f-Xi| •> . .-4f ; ,.-r V : ■ ^■O^V^-V^*^ 77--^:^/^ ^t^- ;. V- ,, ^ vO-^ . •v- ^^^:,-:>.^^^.

It is believed by the writers that thecarburizing (24 hr. at 925° C.) is sufficient to permit of the phospho usdiffusion, as all efforts to obtain evidence of segregated phosphorus aftercarburizing have failed, although the ghost lines still persist. Figs. 45 and 46 show a manganese-sulfide inclusion in the hypereutec-toid zone after carburizing, with no evidence of change in the normallamellar pearlite. The fact that manganese sulfide introduced intonormal steel (Fig. 29) caused the breaking down of the pearlite aftercarburization in the portion of the metal surrounding the inclusion is not Iron an
