Question:

A preheated piece of mild steel, having an initial concentration of 0.20% by weight of carbon, is exposed to a carbonizing atmosphere for 1.0 h. Under the processing conditions, the surface concentration of carbon is 0.70% by weight. If the diffusivity of carbon through steel is 1.0 × 10-11 m2/s at the process temperature, determine the carbon composition at 0.01 cm, 0.02 cm, and 0.04 cm below the surface.
