Rapid Alloy Surface Engineering through Closed-Vessel Reagent Pyrolysis

For rapid surface engineering of Cr-containing alloys by low-temperature nitrocarburization, we introduce a process based on pyrolysis of solid reagents, e.g., urea, performed in an evacuated closed vessel. Upon heating to temperatures high enough for rapid diffusion of interstitial solute, but low...
