Abstract
Friction hardening is one of the new technologies utilising concentrated energy sources to surface harden iron based structural alloys. The process has the advantage of simplicity of the methods and devices used, and the high energy densities of frictional work attained in localised areas of a large workpiece can create surface structures having similar properties to those obtained by surface hardening with laser radiation, electron beams, or low temperature plasmas without any surface melting.
