Xavier:

You may look to PVD, Physical Vapor Deposition, CVD or Plasma assisted deposition as a process to provide a high rate low temperature, ( assuming heat treat is important)

I dont know of any companies that are doing these processes in line at high rates but a search of the net could lead you to an interested party. GENERAL MAGNAPLATE comes to mind. It should be possible to find a suitable coating for corrosion protection, wear or from the list of possibles.. TiN, TiC, TaC , CrN CrCN, etc etc.
