: How can the surface of the steel gain further protection after pulsed plasma nitriding? Is it possible to oxidize the steel surface immediatly after the process?

Dear Mr. Pye,
This may come too late [after seven months- but I just saw yr message...]
Usually there is a gap between pulsed plasma nitriding and post oxidation, in which a 'plasma activation' stage is introduced -that's controlled sputtering to clean the surface so that the oxide film adheres properly. -maxbabi
We have carried out post oxidation immeditately after pulsed plasma nitriding in our homebrewed equipment and the results are excellent.
