ionization of the ammonia molecules and the carbon dioxide molecules, close to the cathode in the zone of the negative glowing diffusion capable nitrogen and carbon are obtained, which impact the surface and diffuse at a certain distance into the material. The process of saturation of the metal surface depends only on the concentration of the atomic carbon and nitrogen in the plasma and the temperature of the article, while the electron/ion impact plays role for ensuring the necessary temperature of the details.
