Abstract

Themochemical treatment in a glow discharge in hydrogen-containing gaseous media is used to harden highspeed tool steels. Such treatment is accompanied by saturation of the metal by hydrogen, which leads to the appearance of hydrogen embrittlement. Transfer of hydrogen from the surface layers into the volume of the steel is accomplished by difusion fluxes. Accordingly, the investigation of diffusion processes occurring under thermochemical treatment conditions in a glow discharge is of both theoretical and practical interest.
