A method for low-temperature interstitial case formation on a self-passivating metal workpiece includes exposing the workpiece in a heated gaseous environment comprising oxygen to pyrolysis products of a nonpolymeric reagent comprising nitrogen and carbon.

Activation of self-passivating metals using reagent coatings for low temperature nitrocarburization in the presence of oxygen-containing gas

A method for treating a workpiece made from a self-passivating metal and having a Beilby layer is disclosed. The method comprises exposing the workpiece to the vapors produced by heating a reagent having a guanidine [HNC(NH)] moiety and complexed with HCl to activate the workpiece for low temperature interstitial surface hardening.

Chemical activation of self-passivating metals

A method for treating a workpiece made of self-passivating metal and having a Beilby layer including applying a coating to a surface of the workpiece, the coating including a reagent, treating the coating to thermally alter the reagent, wherein the thermal altering of the reagent activates and/or hardens the surface.

Activation of self-passivating metals using reagent coatings for low temperature nitrocarburization

A workpiece made from a self-passivating metal and having one or more surface regions defining a Beilby layer as a result of a previous metal shaping operation is activated for subsequent low temperature gas hardening by exposing the workpiece to the vapors produced by heating a non-polymeric N/C/H compound.

A fitting for a fluid conduit includes a coupling body, a coupling nut, a conduit gripping device that is axially driven by the coupling body and the coupling nut to provide grip and seal against a conduit, and a strain sensor unit disposed on a neck portion of the coupling body, the strain sensor unit including at least a first axially extending strain sensor positioned and oriented for strain sensor unit measurement of a first strain of the neck portion corresponding with a first fitting assembly condition, and a second strain of the neck portion corresponding with a second fitting assembly condition different from the first fitting assembly condition.
