Abstract
Ways of intensifying the process of nitriding titanium alloys in molecular nitrogen are considered. It is shown that by diminishing the partial pressure of nitrogen, changing the thermokinetic parameters of the saturation, using elements of vacuum technology, and allowing for the original structure and texture of titanium alloys, the process of their nitriding can be intensified with elimination of the negative aspects of high-temperature saturation. The obtained nitrided layers are analyzed from the standpoint of their functional properties.
