Abstract: | A potassium nitrate salt bath has been used for nitriding of interstitial-free steel. The nitriding behavior can be reasonably well described by nitrogen diffusion in iron. Most nitrogen is dissolved interstitially. During nitriding, a slight oxidation of the steel surface also takes place. The nitrided specimen achieves a pronounced solid–solution strengthening. |
