Proper name

Etymology: Invented by Hayward A. Harvey, of New Jersey. Head templates: {{en-proper noun}} Harvey process
  1. A process for hardening the face of steel, involving the additional carburizing of the face of a piece of low-carbon steel by heaping a solid carbon-rich fuel (such as charcoal) on the face of the steel and then subjecting this to very high heat at high pressure for a prolonged period of time, followed by a violent chilling, as by a spray of cold water. This results in a thick surface of extreme hardness supported by material gradually decreasing in hardness to the unaltered soft steel at the back. Related terms: harveyize Coordinate_terms: Krupp process Translations (Translations): Harvey-prosessi (Finnish), Harvey-Verfahren [neuter] (German), proces Harveya (note: not idiomatic) [masculine] (Polish)
