The present invention provides nitrogen in the annealing enviro~-ment atld simultaneously overcomes the heretofore referred to difficulties encountered with nitrogen-bearing annealing atmospheres. It calls for the use of base coating containing a nitrogen-bearing compound from the group g (N~4)2S4' Fe(N03)3~ Al(NO3)3~ Mg(NO3) and Z;n(NO ) The nitrogen in the coating has been found to serve the same purpose as does the ~itrogen in the annealing atmosphere.
