Steam Treating; Enhancing the Surface Properties of Metal Components

Content Summary

Steam treating is the controlled oxidation of
metals to produce a thin layer of oxide on the
surface of a component. This process can be used
to provide a component with increased corrosion
resistance, better wear resistance, increased
surface hardness, an attractive surface finish and,
in the case of porous materials such as powder
metal, seal the part porosity and increase the
density.
