A PROCESS FOR NITRIDING A REFRACTORY METAL SURFACE WHICH COMPRISES: HEATING THE SURFACE OF A REFRACTORY METAL SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF TITANIUM AND ZIRCONIUM TO A TEMPERATURE WITHIN THE RANGE OF FROM ABOUT 1400*F. TO ABOUT 1700*F. IN AN OXYGEN FREE ATMOSPHERE OR PARTIALLY DISSOCICATED AMMONIA GAS INCLUDING UNDISSOCIATED AMMONIA IN AN AMOUNT FROM 0.05 TO 2% BY VOLUME OF THE GAS INTRODUCTION INTO SAID ATMOSPHERE; AND CONTINUING SAID HEATING FOR A PERIOD OF TIME WHICH BEARS AN INVERSE RELATIONSHIP TO THE TEMPERATURE OF SAID HEATED ATMOSPHERE TO FORM A HIGH HARDNESS CASE ON SAID REFRACTORY METAL.
