The intensive steel quenching methods are widely used for the thermohardening of alloy and high alloy steels. In the present work an opportunity for the application of intensive steel quenching methods with reference to carburized steel parts is justified. Advantages and disadvantages are discussed. The advantages consist of an opportunity to reduce the duration of the carburizing process, increase the quality and durability of carburized steel parts, achieve additional strengthening of material and optimize the distribution of residual stresses after quenching carburized steel parts. Disadvantages consist of a necessity to modify continuous gas carburizing furnaces.
