To reduce ungrown region or abnormal grain growth region in growing a Group III nitride semiconductor through a flux method. A seed substrate has a structure in which a Group III nitride semiconductor layer is formed on a ground substrate as a base, and a mask is formed on the Group III nitride semiconductor layer. The mask has a plurality of dotted windows in an equilateral triangular lattice pattern. A Group III nitride semiconductor is grown through flux method on the seed substrate. Carbon is placed on a lid of a crucible holing the seed substrate and a molten mixture so that carbon is not contact with the molten mixture at the start of crystal growth. Thereby, carbon is gradually added to the molten mixture as time passes. Thus, ungrown region or abnormal grain growth region is reduced in the Group III nitride semiconductor crystal grown on the seed substrate.

The present application relates to a cyclic carburizing treatment method for a carburized layer on the surface of a heavy-duty gear. The surface of the gear to be treated is bombarded with supersonic particles before the gear to be treated is subjected to vacuum carburizing treatment, so that the surface of the gear to be treated is subjected to compound catalytic infiltration. The treatment causes plastic deformation on the surface of the gear to be treated, forming a composite modified layer with fine grains and many grain boundaries, which facilitates the diffusion and penetration of carbon atoms into the surface of the gear to be treated. After completing a cyclic carburizing cycle of composite catalysis-vacuum carburizing, by repeatedly performing multiple cyclic carburizing cycles of composite catalysis-vacuum carburizing, the surface of the gear to be treated generates a higher carbon concentration, a larger thickness, Carburized layer with strong surface hardness. The cyclic carburizing treatment method for the surface carburizing layer of a heavy-duty gear involved in the present application can obtain a higher carbon concentration, greater thickness, and greater surface strength and hardness in a relatively short period of time compared with the traditional atmosphere carburizing method. Carburized layer to meet the service requirements of heavy-duty gears.

An embodiment of the invention discloses a carburization processing method. Composite carburization is adopted in the carburization processing method. First a workpiece is placed in a carburization medium of 900-980 DEG C, thermal insulation and cooling are carried out, then the workpiece is continuously placed in the carburization medium of 900-980 DEG C, and thermal insulation is performed. After carburization for the first time, the surface of the workpiece has a certain carbon concentration distribution and macroscopic thickness.
