Ferritic nitrocarburising is carried out at a temperature of 570 deg C and so - as with the well-known and well-established nitriding technique - distortion is minimal. ... Improvements in wear resistance result from the formation of a thin layer ... of a constituent rich in carbon and nitrogen ...

OBS

nitrocarburizing: "Nitrocarburizing" without "ferritic" normally occurs with another modifier, e.g., "gaseous nitrocarburizing", "vacuum nitrocarburizing", "salt-bath nitrocarburizing", etc., which all refer to types of ferritic nitrocarburizing.
