Solution
Railway wagon axles are made by heating rods of iron embedded in charcoal powder. The process is known as case hardening.
The process of hardening the surface of wrought iron by depositing a surface layer of steel on it is called case-hardening. It is done by heating wrought iron in contact with potassium ferrocyanide. Alternatively, case hardening can also be done by heating wrought iron with charcoal and then plunging it a suitable oil.
