Abstract
An investigation has been conducted into the contribution made by nitrogen and nitrogen plus carbon to the chemical composition of surface compound layers of non-alloy steel treated at 843 K. The composition of the compound layers produced by the optimized atmosphere systems was determined by AES. Recommendations are made on how such processes may be controlled.
