KIT researchers developing low-pressure carbonitriding process for hardening steel with methylamine; applications in downsized engines

Green Car Congress

A team at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) is developing a new low-pressure process for hardening steel using methylamine. Steels hardened in this way are suited for use in components subjected to high mechanical and thermal loads in downsized, energy-efficient and low-emission engines of the future. ethyne or propane.
