A surface of a steel substrate is nitrided without external heating by exposing it to a beam of nitrogen ions under a low pressure. The pressure is much lower than that employed for ion-nitriding, and an ion source is used instead of a glow discharge. Both of these features reduce the introduction of impurities into the substrate surface.
