Nitriding Potential

The accurate calculation of Nitriding Potential (K_N) requires the flow rates of other gases that are being introduced into the process.  These flow rates are measured in SCFH (Standard Cubic Feet per Hour).  K_N can only be calculated by entering the flow of Nitrogen (N₂), Ammonia (NH₃) and % Dissociated Ammonia (%DA).  These values are entered at the bottom of the main screen when K_N is selected. If no gas flow values are entered (each flow shows 0 scfh), the system will assume 100% NH3 is flowing into the furnace. As soon as any of the gas values are changed to a value that is not 0, the calculations are based on those gas flows.
