Abstract

A mathematical formulation and computed results are presented to describe the velocity fields, temperature fields and concentration of the activated species in an ion nitriding process, operated at 1–5 torr pres-sure. The theoretical predictions, which are based on the two-dimensional trasnport equations and on a model for computing the electron number density, gave results in broad agreement with experimental findings reported by others for similar systems.
