Abstract
A method for carburizing austenitic metal comprising fluorinating the austenitic metal and consecutive carburizing at a low temperature not more than 680.degree. C. A carburizing temperature can be lowered by such a fluorination. As a result, carbide of chrome component in the austenitic metal can be prevented from depositing. That is, much chrome component remains in the austenitic metal. Therefore, the austenitic metal surface can be hardened and also superior anti-corrosion property can be maintained.
