Nitriding is a heat-treating process
used for producing a very hard case
(Vickers 1100) and is typically used
to produce hard, strong, tough
steels. The process involves heating
the steel to 500-540°C (930-1000°F)
in an atmosphere of ammonia gas
for about 50 hours. No further
quenching or heat treatment is
required. The case depth is about
0.4-mm. Nitrided surfaces can also
improve corrosion resistance.
