Abstract: A method for treating metals and metal surfaces is disclosed. The method includes the use of a plasma gas generated by an induction plasma system. In one embodiment, a cutting tool, such as a saw blade or razor blade is passed into contact with the plasma to produce an extremely hard blade surface. The method includes stabilization of the plasma prior to use, and the electrical insulating of metallic parts of the treating equipment in order to prevent arcing. Very high feed speeds may be employed, up to 150 feet per minute.
