Abstract
Recent progress in surface-hardening technology with respect to gaseous diffusion processes usedfor large-scale production of small engineering components is reviewed. Comparisons are made regarding specific fields of application together with the advantages and disadvantages of both newly developed and traditional surface-hardening techniques
