Hi everyone,
as a side project, I've been studying metallurgy and I've taken special interest in coatings and surface hardening and how they work on a structural level. I've stumbled across a special boronizing technique and was really intrigued by it and decided to recreate that coating.
Now, I'm pretty sure that I've got the right mixture, temperature and so on to achieve similar results as the ones with Borinox (the boronizing tech I was recreating). I would like to monetize my findings but I'm not sure if I should.
Now, let me say that it's unlikely that it's the same exact process since I have no way of knowing how they really do it. If all our steps would be the same, I'd be surprised. Anyway, since it's technically a different product that achieves the same results, it's not the same thing, right? Is it okay if i try to monetize my technique? Is it ethically acceptable?
