Abstract
A process for nitrocarburizing ferrous materials, and the product thereof is described. Material to be treated is packed in a container with a triazine polymer, preferably melone, melem or melam and heated to 500.degree.-900.degree. C. for up to 120 minutes. After treatment the material can be oil quenched to produce a product having a diffusion layer and or a relatively thick hard nitrocarburized (outer) layer which is 40-200 3/4m thick and has a hardness in the range HV 400-1500.
