Article: Low-pressure nitriding: low-pressure nitriding is a commercially proven technology that provides advantages over some of the commercial alternatives. This article describes the process and its adaptability to unique customer requirements.(Vacuum/Surface Treating)

Nitriding is now a well-known thermo-chemical process. There are various ways of adding nitrogen by diffusion to harden the superficial layer of the part being treated:

* Nitriding in salt baths: This process provides high-quality results but has been used less frequently in recent days because of its environmental limitations, workplace health and safety and the post-process cleaning required.

* Atmospheric pressure gaseous nitriding: While it is fairly easy to implement, it is difficult to control and its penetration is minimal.

* Ionic nitriding: This method makes it easier to reserve zones from nitriding and treat stainless grades, but the ...
