Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9955928A1] The invention concerns a method for carbonitriding metal alloy parts which consists in treating said parts with a fuel mixture consisting of ethylene and hydrogen and with a nitriding gas consisting of ammonia, under pressure less than 100 hPa and at a temperature of about 750 to 1050 DEG C. The invention is particularly advantageous for treating passivable and stainless steel since it enables to attain very high surface enrichment in nitrogen.
