The effect of replacing argon by nitrogen was investigated for the purÂ­pose of reducing welding costs. The study reveals that nitrogen can very well be used to replace argon for purging in pipe welding without any adverse effects on the properties of the unstabilized austenitic stainless steels.
Nitriding alloys are alloy steels with nitride-forming elements such as aluminum, chromium, molybdenum and titanium. History. Systematic investigation into the effect of nitrogen on the surface properties of steel began in the 1920s. Investigation into gas nitriding began independently in both Germany and America. The process was greeted with enthusiasm in Germany and several steel grades were developed with nitriding in mind: the so-called nitriding steels.
