Low Torr-Range Vacuum Nitriding of 4140 Steel
Although the nitrided surfaces from atmospheric pressure nitriding and low-torr nitriding are similar, there are some advantages of the low-pressure nitriding including faster turn-around time, a very pure starting atmosphere, the ability to clean the surfaces of the parts using hydrogen prior to the nitriding, and uniform atmosphere.
