Nitrogen was found to behave similarly to carbon in thorium and increased the thermally activated component of the flow stress. The activation energy was 1.3 eV for overcoming nitrogen atoms in solution. Aging the higher nitrogen alloys produced an age hardening contribution to the flow stress which was a thermally activated component at about 600 K but became an athermal component at lower temperatures.
