High endurance limit of carburised machine parts is because of the fact that carburisation __________________?

Correct answer: C. Introduces a compressive layer on the surface

  • A. Suppresses any stress concentration produced in the parts
  • B. Enhances the yield point of the material
  • C. Introduces a compressive layer on the surface
  • D. Produces a better surface finish

Explanation

Carburisation hardens the surface and creates a compressive residual-stress layer, which improves fatigue resistance and raises the endurance limit. It does not primarily work by eliminating stress concentrations or improving surface finish.
