Abstract
The nitriding of iron and steel is of considerable technological importance, because it can make a pronounced improvement in the fatigue, the wear, and the corrosion resistance of these materials. Nitriding on the surface of ferrous alloys results in the formation of a compound layer of ?- Fe 4N1-x and ? - Fe3N nitrides or a mixture of ? and ? with a nitrogen diffusion zone beneath the nitride layer.
