Abstract: A number of variations may include a ferritic nitrocarburized part comprising steel, wherein the ferritic nitrocarburized steel has a tensile strength exceeding the parent steel material and sufficient ductility, bendability, and flangeability to support subsequent flanging and press-fitting of bushings. Exact strength increases and bendability will be dependent on exact process and alloy combinations.
