Abstract
The invention relates to a one-piece metal component including an electroformed metal body, the external surface of the body including, only over or to a predetermined depth, less trapped hydrogen than the rest of the electroformed metal body causing a hardening relative to the rest of the body in order to improve the wear resistance of the one-piece component while preserving a relative magnetic permeability of less than 10 and the ability to be driven or pressed fit.
