Abstract
The microstructure of the compound layer formed by plasma nitrocarburi zing of steels has been investigated by means of conversion electron, conversion X-ray Mossbauer spectroscopy (GEMS, CXMS) and X-ray diffrac tion. A carbon steel C35 was plasma nitrocarburized using a gas mixtur e of nitrogen, hydrogen and methane. The compound layer was mechanical ly removed in steps, followed by Mossbauer and X-ray investigations. I t was found that this layer consists of different nitrides and carbide s. Their concentrations vary with the depth below the surface.
