Provided is a component for use in swage mounting that includes a base
plate, having a first side and a second side, and a hub which preferably
is cylindrically shaped. The hub is primarily comprised of a first
material (such as stainless steel), extends from the second side of the
base plate, and has an inner surface and an outer surface. The outer
surface of the hub includes numerous protrusions that are less than
approximately 50 microns in height and that are primarily comprised of a
second material (such as a carbide or a nitride) which is different from
the first material. Preferably, the protrusions are substantially harder
(such as at least 50 hardness Vickers harder) than the base material.
