Ion Nitriding Principles and Applications
Ion nitriding is a case hardening process that has been in existence in Europe for many years. Â In the U.S., no attempt was made to use this process in production until after 1950. Â Furthermore, the promotion of production ion nitriding here was only accomplished within the past 10-15 years. Â Although there are many small to moderate quantity applications, the smaller user has considered the process more of a mystery than proven science and suspected everyday processing was only feasible in a university laboratory or a large corporation.
