Noz Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Yet again... I venture further into this topic. I'm going through some on-site training at work and we are cover hardening processes. Anyone else use hardening processes at their workplace? It would be great to see the benifit over forking out for forged pistons. Processes only affecting the outer layer (e.g 10-50 microns) would be best, so you keep the same material specification. Some processes can make the material completely different and brittle, these I'm not covering. Some case hardening processes have been found to include the same ductile properties yet increase the outer case surface hardness at ambient and temperature. Anyone else ever considered doing this?
