Treatments that harden the surface or body of steel parts, such as carburizing, nitriding, flame and induction hardening and shot peening, and that coat them with zinc. A member belongs here when the cited article describes it as a steel hardening or surface treatment. The group is one of the groupings under this field in the Technology Atlas, and each member keeps its own entry with its own cited sources and its own place in the field. Its members appear in the Browse By view for the field, so a reader can move from this group to each member entry and to the sources cited there.

Carburizing - Wikipedia
Has Member: Carburizing, IntroductionQuote, Has Member: Carburizing, Introduction
Carburizing, or carburising, is a heat treatment process in which iron or steel absorbs carbon while the metal is heated in the presence of a carbon-bearing material, such as charcoal or carbon monoxide.
Differential heat treatment (Wikipedia)
Has Member: Differential Hardening, IntroductionQuote, Has Member: Differential Hardening, Introduction
Differential heat treatment (also called selective heat treatment or local heat treatment) is a technique used during heat treating of steel to harden or soften certain areas of an object, creating a difference in hardness between these areas.
Induction hardening (Wikipedia)
Has Member: Induction Hardening, IntroductionQuote, Has Member: Induction Hardening, Introduction
Induction hardening is a type of surface hardening in which a metal part is induction-heated and then quenched.
Wikipedia: Nitriding
Has Member: Nitriding, IntroductionQuote, Has Member: Nitriding, Introduction
Nitriding is a heat treating process that diffuses nitrogen into the surface of a metal to create a case-hardened surface.
Shot peening - Wikipedia
Has Member: Shot Peening, IntroductionQuote, Has Member: Shot Peening, Introduction
Shot peening is a cold working process used to produce a compressive residual stress layer and modify the mechanical properties of metals and composites.
Sherardising, Wikipedia
Has Member: Sherardizing, Lead paragraphQuote, Has Member: Sherardizing, Lead paragraph
Sherardising or Zinc thermal diffusion is a process of galvanization of ferrous metal surfaces
Case-hardening (Wikipedia)
Wikipedia contributors, Wikimedia FoundationHas Member: Flame Hardening, ProcessesQuote, Has Member: Flame Hardening, Processes
Flame or induction hardening are processes in which the surface of the steel is heated very rapidly to high temperatures
