COMBINED SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING ION CYANIDATION

High-temperature cyanidation possesses a set of known advantages over carburization but the technological process is more difficult to contr ol. In order to ensure the specified saturation of the diffusion layer both the carburizing and the nitriding capacities of the technologica l atmosphere are to be controlled precisely. The present article conce rns a combined system for controlling cyanidation of low-alloyed steel s in an ionized thermodynamically nonequilibrium gas medium, which inc ludes an original method for diagnostics of the processes occurring bo th in the technological atmosphere and on the saturated surface.
