The invention relates to a pressurized gas nitrocarburizing method, belonging to the technical field of heat treatment of materials. The method is suitable for quickly nitrocarburizing on surface layers of steel workpieces, the main technical characteristic is that the method contain a procedure and the procedure comprises the following steps sequentially: sealing, checking safety, heating an empty furnace, charging, exhausting gas, pressurizing and heating, keeping heat and cooling. In the step of heating the empty furnace, the temperature in the furnace is controlled within 400 DEG C-500 DEG C, and the temperature of the empty furnace is kept for 0.5-1 hour; in the exhausting step, gas carbon dioxide and ammonia gas are respectively introduced in a gas inlet valve (2) and a gas inlet valve (3) to the inner bottom of a nitrocarburizing furnace through a gas inlet pipeline 1, and the air in the furnace is exhausted by a gas exhaust pipeline 7; in the pressurizing and heating step, the pressure is 5000Pa-60000Pa, the temperature is 500 DEG C-600 DEG C; and in the heat insulating step, and the heat insulation time is 1.5-3 hours. The invention has the advantages of simple technology, high nitrocarburizing speed and the like, can be used to obviously shorten the heat insulation time, effectively save the energy and the working hours, and reduce the production cost.
