Method of nitriding steel and heat treat furnaces used therein

摘要

This invention relates to a method of nitriding steel material in a second heat treatment furnace after fluorinating the steel material in a first heat treat furnaceto form a deep and uniform nitrided layer. Then, steel material is treated smoothly by defining the ratio of establishing said both furnaces for fluorinating and niriding on the basis of treating time required for said both treatments since time required for each treatment is different.
