sulifinized


Explanation:
Components, such as cutting tools and roller races, where both hardness and wear resistance are required, can be made from steels that will not soften during subsequent Sulfinuz treatment at 570°C. Such parts are first hardened in the normal manner, then ground to size, and finally Sulfinuz treated ..., Sulfinuz treated, cast-iron diesel engine liners and piston rings were fitted to an omnibus.
In general sulfinuz treatment is used for imparting wear resistance to parts.

neutral  Tony M: Your reference actually supports my own answer! 1) you have made a typo in your headword answer which is a bit confusing; 2) Unlike FR, EN doesn't seem to use this so readily as a verb (unlike, for example, galvanized) / Only 7 Ghits for this term :-(
