text: Moreover, although specific temperatures or temperature ranges have been recited in the aforementioned examples for the nitriding operation, and best results, i. e., most efficient and thorough conversion of the silicon to silicon nitride are found to take place when the nitriding operation is performed at temperature ranges slightly below the melting point of silicon (1420 C.), as for example, 1350-1400 C., satisfactory nitriding has been obtained at temperatures as low as in the neighborhood of 1300 C. Furthermore, during the nitriding operation, and particularly after the nitriding has progressed for some time, the temperatures can be raised well above the melting point of silicon as further assurance of the substantially complete conversion of the silicon to silicon nitride.
