Abstract

An improved process for diffusing a substrate into a base material is described. Generally, a process is provided for introducing a base material into a salt bath having a substrate with a catalyst. A select amount of catalyst and desired salt bath temperature are provided sufficient to lower the activation energy of the base material such that the substrate is able to easily diffuse into the surface of the base material. Nevertheless, certain substances within the base material may inhibit the diffusion of the substrate into the surface of the base material. Accordingly, a select amount of catalyst and desired salt bath temperature are further provided sufficient to promote leaching of such select substances that inhibit the diffusion of such substrate into such base material. The leached substances are substantially replaced by the diffused substrate.
