Research on Metal Parts Hardening by Superficial Alloying in Liquid and Solid State

“…Research on the manufacture of metal parts submitted to hardening processes in liquid and solid state, consisting in the ingot superficial alloying through vacuum casting followed by parts coating with a hardening mixture, an induction heat treating and a final heat treatment, is providing noticeable results as compared to these of the pre-existing technologies, both at national and international levels [1 -5]. Thus the new procedure, thanks to the simultaneity of the working stages: superficial alloying in the liquid phase during the casting, followed by solid phase hardening stages and processing in inductive field turns out to be a relatively simple and efficient process, with a coherent, viable and industrially adaptable technological flow [6,7].…”
