Products of titanium or titanium alloys having the surface converted to a hard and wear-resistant nitride layer with good adhesion, which is distributed uniformly and also provides internal covering, e.g. in capillaries. The objects are produced by being treated in a vacuum furnace with an atmosphere of pure nitrogen gas at a temperature of 650 - 1000 DEG C and at a pressure below atmospheric pressure. The thickness of the nitride layer can be controlled by controlling the treatment time and temperature. <IMAGE> |
