Beta Case Hardening Compound

Beta Case Hardening Compound is a specialised powder used to create a hard, wear‑resistant surface on mild steel components. Commonly applied in heat‑treating processes, it enhances durability by adding carbon to the surface layer while keeping the core tough and ductile. Although safe in supplied form, the compound becomes hazardous during use, requiring proper ventilation and protective handling. Ideal for engineering, restoration, and small‑batch metalworking applications.
