Abstract — The effects of the various process parameters (tempering temperature before nitriding, nitriding temperature, nitriding time and rate of ammonia decomposition) on the depth and Micro-hardness of H13 steel with Nano-sized grain nitride layer were analyzed and compared comprehensively through orthogonal experimental design. Nitriding of steel — (strengthening nitriding, resisting nitriding) A chemical heat treatment process that causes nitrogen atoms to penetrate into the surface of steel and form a nitrogen rich hardened layer. The resultant carburized layer is characterized by the supersaturation of carbon in austenite lattices, the much-increased hardness and wear resistance, and most importantly its superior corrosion resistance. gas (box furnace or fluidized bed),
