This topic will be discussed by William J. Bernard III of Surface Combustion at the Thermal Processing in Motion conference. The case hardening process known as ferritic nitrocarburizing (FNC) has seen increased interest recently in the transportation and mobility industries due its ability to impart strength and wear resistance to steels and cast irons, with […]
