Sommario/riassunto

Drawing on his own long career in nitriding, Pye offers a practical rather than academic or theoretical guide to the two related surface modification techniques, for veteran and neophyte engineers and metallurgists. He discusses such aspects as choosing among the many methods and nitridable steels,
