Dear friends

I have been reading about nitriding and it's applications for surface
hardening of H13 steels. I found that it can be done in salt bath
furnace,gas furnace or plasma which the last one is very expensive.
I want to use nitriding for surface hardening of hot forging dies and
I want to know which problems may be occur in future if I use salt
bath furnace (except pollution).

Thanks
Mahdi

Only the kinds of problems you'd expect from a big urn full of a
red hot substance of which a gram or so is fatal in seconds....

Another option is fluidized bed nitriding. It acts like salt bath nitriding
and is practically nonpolluting.

In your position I would call my local heat treatment company, they
generally have a metalurgist on the staff & heaps of practical/economical
solutions, backed by years of practical experience.
You could compare the advice from several such sources & maybe do some
trials.
