This paper presents investigations of nitrided cases after the glow-discharge nitriding process. The nitrided cases were obtained by using a different chemical composition of gas mixture at the temperature of 450OC. The glow-discharge nitriding process was carried out on austenitic stainless steel, grade of steel X5CrNi18-10. The chemical composition and phase identification of the nitrided cases were examined by using the glow-discharge optical emission spectrometry (GD-OES) and X-ray diffractometry (XRD)
