Engineers at Ohio State University, Columbus, report that they have developed vaporized foil actuator (VFA) welding, a technique that consumes 80% less energy than conventional techniques, yet produces bonds that are 50% stronger.
Gas Nitriding and Nitrocarburizing
Gas nitriding is based on the decomposition of ammonia (NH3) at temperatures between 500 and 600°C (930 and 1110°F) according to:
