The widely published Lehrer phase diagram for ammonia\/hydrogen gas nitriding of pure iron has been used as a reference guide for selecting ammonia\/nitrogen mixtures for nitriding of alloy steels. However, when the diluting gas is not hydrogen, the diagram is not precise or accurate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:.0001pt\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:.0001pt\"><span style=\"line-height:normal\">Recent R&amp;D gas nitriding studies on pure iron powders indicate that the use of nitrogen as the diluting gas produces considerably different compound layer (white layer) phase ratios when compared to the standard Lehrer ammonia\/hydrogen mixtures, according to XRD analysis. Current data reveals that nitrogen shifts the Lehrer diagram phase boundaries to the left. This is pertinent to the topic, as only the gamma prime phase (Fe<span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><sub>4<\/sub><\/span>N) is desired, not epsilon (Fe<span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><sub>2-3<\/sub> <\/span>N).
