渗氮在钢表面获得远远超出正常标准的硬度。其硬度范围为900到1,100布氏硬度，这远高于普通表面硬化所获得的硬度。
Nitriding develops extreme hardness in the surface of steel. This hardness ranges from 900 to 1,100 Brinell, which is considerably higher than that obtained by ordinary case hardening.
结果表明，交流脉冲放电在抑制弧光放电和空心阴极效应方面是非常有效的，对于高铬钢材料表面的离子渗氮作用是明显的。
The results indicate that it has visible effect on restraining arc discharge and hollow cathode discharge as well as ion nitriding on high-chrome steel material surface.
一般在调质状态下使用，还可以进行碳氮共渗和高频表面淬火处理。
Generally used in quenched and tempered state, can also carry on the carbonitriding and high-frequency surface hardening.
