ASM Inteational, 2003, 256 pages
This book is intended to assist all of the practitioners of the technology in the day-to-day process operation of nitriding and ferritic nitrocarburizing. The contents are based upon my lifetime of experience and the knowledge gained from my peers. I hope that you, the reader, will gain some useful knowledge about the subject of nitriding and its derivative process techniques.
