Acceleration of nitriding of steel 12Kh18N10T

Conclusions Nitriding of austenitic steel of the 12Kh18N10T type can be speeded up by using ordinary furnaces. The main condition for increasing the rate of the process is to ensure the proper flow of the saturating gas around the machine part, which can be achieved by using a deflector.Translated from Metallovedenie i Termicheskaya Obrabotka Metallov, No. 7, pp. 42–43, July, 1978.
