Abstract
Strength change in ultra low carbon steel carburized at $880^{\circ}C$ and $930^{\circ}C$ for 10, 30, 60 and 120 minutes was investigated. The results were analyzed by a tensile test, chemical composition analysis, optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Stress in the 0.5% strain specimen in the tensile test increased as the time treated at $880^{\circ}C$ and $930^{\circ}C$ increased, because the carbon diffusion layer and the martensite of the specimen increased with increasing treatment time. Martensite was found in the ferrite region in the specimen treated at $880^{\circ}C$, which is attributed to grain boundary diffusion.
