炉内气氛监测方面新开发的产品，热处理设计与计算机控制，意大利、法国、加拿大、德国和美国等已引进的NITREG气作渗氮工艺，也已被英国引进。新工艺提供了高水平的控制与可重复性，同时也克服了现行气体渗氮技术中许多已被觉察到的不足之处。美国汽车工业中大量应用的、如感应淬火、盐浴碳氮共渗等许多传统技术，已为该新技术所代替。本文作者评述了该技术的进展，以及对英国表面处理技术领域可能产生的影响。
New developments in furnace atmosphere monitoring, heat treatment design and computer control, and the introduction of NITREG gas nitriding technology from Italy, France, Canada, Germany and the United States have also been introduced into the UK. The new process offers a high level of control and repeatability while overcoming many of the perceived deficiencies of current gas nitriding technologies. A large number of applications of the United States automotive industry, such as induction hardening, salt bath carbonitriding and many other traditional technologies, has been replaced by the new technology. The authors review the progress of the technology and its possible impact on the field of surface finishing technology in the United Kingdom.
