<p>Nitrogen-strengthened alloys, especially steels, are produced by heating a combination of metal particles and a nitrogen donor, such as a chromium nitride, to make nitrogen available as a solute in the particles. The particles may be produced as a permeable preform for the process. The dissolved nitrogen leads to improved hardness, and higher strength is additionally obtained by the inclusion of a dispersant, such as yttria, in the particles.</p> |
