Homework Statement
I understand that decarburization happens during heat treatment of steels @ 700 C, and that carbon reacts with oxygen or hydrogen that is in the atmosphere. But, where does the carbon go?
Homework Equations
None
The Attempt at a Solution
Does the carbon react with the oxygen and turn into Carbon Oxide like on the surface of the steel? Or does it turn into CO2?
