Yeah, when we were building my engine, I watched a guy in his shop mount one. He uses a torch to heat up the ring. When it gets red hot, it expands enough to just fit on the flywheel, and he hammers it down. It cools and mates itself to the wheel. I don't know that the steel is hardened, just harder than the cast wheel. Heating up a hardened steel past a certain point like they have to do when mounting the ring will negate the heat treatment.
