Press hardening steel has become a much used material in car body manufacturing due to its excellent safety and lightweight potential. In some recent car models press hardening steel has reached already a weight share by more than 20% in the body structure while it is estimated that it could...
Some key advantages include obvious and large gains in surface hardness of the treated material as well as a reduction in friction coefficient meaning surface wear is significantly reduced. Boriding, or boronizing, is a thermo chemical surface hardening process that can be applied to a wide variet...
