ABSTRACT: The aim of the present work is to investigate the possibility of applying glow discharge optical emission<br />

spectroscopy while building the profile of nitrogen and carbon distribution in carbonitrided layers. 25CrMnSiNiMo steel and<br />

Armco‐iron have been carbonitrided in low‐temperature plasma in ammonia and corgon medium. The results show that<br />

increased amount of carbon is observed both in the combined zone and in the diffusion zone of the carbonitrided layer. It<br />

has been established that after carbonitriding of 25CrMnSiNiMo steel and Armco‐iron at t=550 0 C, P NH3 = 280 Pa, P 82% Ar + 18% CO2<br />

= 120 Pa, τ = 4 h, the most gradual change of the distribution of nitrogen and carbon is achieved in the carbonitrided zone of<br />

the layer.<br />

KEYWORDS: carbonitrided layers, low‐temperature plasma, GDOES analysis<br />

INTRODUCTION<br />

Since the beginning of the 1970s glow discharge<br />

sources have been used predominantly in the field of<br />

investigating alloys. The scientific literature suggests a<br />

great number of applications based on glow discharge<br />

spectroscopes, not supposed so far, including<br />

polymeric mass‐spectroscopy, sensitive assessment of<br />

nano‐materials, as well as analysis of very thin (
