A. Yo, Mark & Mike! Lee Gearhart metallurgist - E. Aurora, New York 2001 A. A Yahoo search on malcomizing yielded a number of sites. The number one site said: "This is a proprietary method of gas nitriding for some stainless steels and ductile iron." There were others, including vendors.

Q. Does the Malcomizing process have any spec to go by? Or can we use any other specs instead since it seems Bodycote uses the same procedure just different name.
