I opened a book from school that had 20 years of dust on it. To increase the carbon content of a piece of steel you need to pack the parts in a high carbon solid meduim, enclosed in a gastight box, and heated for 6 to 72 hours at roughly 1650*. We used saw dust in our box, and sent it over the the welding shop to use their furnace. Would the banding material from around wooden crates work for you. They are about.03 thick and quite tough.
