The result of the nitrogen content are Nitrides which are like carbides.
Laying all my cards on the table face up for this one question, the process by which it's done is at the very least proprietary if not "classified" a little higher.
They won't tell me how it's done.  |
Bill,
I think that they are hiding it right out in the open!!!
Nitriding is a "Case Hardening" process, ie Surface, and if these nitrides are throughout the material, it is getting there during the atomization of the molten material. When the resultant particles are placed into the container, sealed, and then hot isostatically pressed, the N2 that is present in the droplets has no place to go and remains as an integral part of the mix!!!
