What modern method can be used to harden a frizzen?

I know the old methods to introduce carbon while hardening the frizzen on a flint lock. Any gunsmiths know of a more modern way to get more carbon introduced into the steel more effectively? I’m not looking for wikipedia links, would like some method based on actual use on frizzens.
