It describes the reactions that occur at the surface of the material being treated during iron nitriding and defines corner effect and nitride networking. Further, the chapter provides information on the stability of surface layers and processes involved in the degradation of surface finish and control of the compound zone formation. Gases primarily used for ion nitriding and the control parameters used in ion nitriding are also covered.
