We investigate the kinetics of saturation of VT22 titanium alloy in molecular nitrogen under atmospheric pressure within the temperature range 800–950°С and find the kinetic constants of nitriding. The preferred orientations of the TiN x and Ti2N phases in the formed surface nitride films are determined. It his shown that, within the temperature range 800–900°С, the interaction of the β -phase with nitrogen controls the β → α transformation by affecting the diffusion of nitrogen into the bulk of the titanium matrix.
