In this study, the powder-pack boriding process on low-carbon stainless steel was carried out at 1273 K for 4 h of exposure to obtain a layer around ~57 μm conformed by FeB, Fe2B, and others alloying elements. Firstly, the presence of iron borides formed on the surface of borided AISI 316L alloy was confirmed by optical microscopy combined with the X-ray diffraction analysis. After, the sensed Vickers indentation test was performed on the iron boride layer to estimate the behavior of hardness and Young’s modulus. Sliding wear tests on the borided AISI 316L alloy were performed according to the ASTM G133-05 standard procedure, with the following conditions: distances of 50 and 150 m, normal loads of 5 and 20 N, and a sliding speed of 30 mm/s. Finally, the results showed that the presence of FeB-Fe2B improves the resistance to wear around 41 times compared to the untreated material.

Abstract This study involves the effect of boriding powder composition on the microstructure and hardness of a CoCrMo alloy borided in a solid medium using the powder pack method. To investigate the effect of boriding powder composition, two different commercial boriding agents, Ekabor-HM and Ekabor III, were thoroughly mixed with ferrosilicon powders to form the boriding media. The CoCrMo samples were tightly packed with the Ekabor-HM and Ekabor III boriding powders in stainless steel containers to minimize oxidation. The boriding process was carried out under atmospheric conditions for 9 h in an electrical resistance furnace preheated to 1223 K. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses revealed that the surfaces of the borided CoCrMo alloys consisted of a bilayer composed of CoB and Co2B phases and also contained minor amounts of CrB, Mo2B5, and Mo2B. The average thickness of the boride layer in the samples borided with Ekabor HM and Ekabor III powders was 28±4.1 μm and 21±2.3 μm, while the average hardness of the boride layer was 1752±5.3 HV0.1 and 1364±3.8 HV0.1, respectively.

Abstract In this study, powder metallurgy was applied in a furnace atmosphere to form titanium boride layers on a commercially pure Ti surface. Experiments were carried out using the solid-state boriding method at 900 °C and 1000°C for 12 h and 24 h. Samples were produced by pressing the commercially pure Ti powders under 870 MPa. The sintering process required by the powder metallurgy method was carried out simultaneously with the boriding process. Thus, the sintering and boriding were performed in one stage. The formation of the boride layer was investigated by field emission scanning electron microscopy, optical-light microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and elemental dispersion spectrometry analyses. In addition, microhardness measurements were performed to examine the effect of the boriding process on hardness. The Vickers microhardness of the boronized surface reached 1773 HV, which was much higher than the 150 HV hardness of the commercially pure Ti substrate. The X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the boriding process had enabled the formation of TiB and TiB2 on the powder metallurgy Ti substrate surface. Consequently, the production of Ti via powder metallurgy is a potentially cost-effective alternative to the conventional method, and the boriding process supplies TiB and TiB2 that provide super-high hardness and excellent wear and corrosion resistance.

Boriding Process

The present study reports the growth of layers formed in the surface of the boride steel AISI W2; by the application of the dehydrated paste-pack boriding process and using three different temperatures at 1173, 1223 and 1273 K, with 2, 4, 6 and 8 h of exposure. The substrate and the boride Fe2B were analysed quantitatively and qualitatively. The growth of the boride layer Fe2B was examined using optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM-EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The properties were mechanically evaluated, using a Vickers indenter with loads of 0.5 and 1 N, with a constant distance of 15 μm and 30 μm. To determine the fracture toughness (Kc) and the adherence of the boride layer Fe2B, the Rockwell C test method (VDI 3198) was used. The morphology present in the boride Fe2B layer showed a smooth flat, whit ranged thickness from 13.96 ± 1.61 μm to 79.86 ± 4.13 μm. The presence of boride Fe2B layers of steel substrate was confirmed by XRD and the distribution of alloying elements by Energy Disperses for Spectroscopy (EDS). The hardness of the boride layers Fe2B ranged from 157 9± 17 to 1875 ± 25 HV. The fracture toughness of boride Fe2B layer observed ranged from 4.15 to 4.75 MPam1/2. The boride layer has a scale delamination H3 to H6. The boride layers formed in the surface have the function to increase the service life of W2 steels used in the industry.

In this study, we present a boronizing treatment on a steel microalloy that was performed according to dehydrated paste-pack boriding. The temperatures conducted were at 1173, 1223 and 1273 K; at various exposure times of 1, 3, 6 and 9 h. As a result of the boriding process, diffusion-controlled growth of the FeB/Fe2B layers was obtained at the surface of the micro-alloy steel, and the kinetics of the growth process changed parabolically over time. The results of these examination properties of the boride layer as revealed by Optical Microscopy (OP) showed the morphology of the boride layer as a saw-tooth with a thickness ranging from 33 μm to 220 μm depending on the boronizing time. The analysis of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM-EDS); showed a distribution of the alloying elements that were detected by Energy Dispersive Spectrometry. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique indicated that the surface was a mixture of FeB and Fe2B borides. The evaluation of adhesion of the layers was determined by the technique of Rockwell-C hardness. Young’s modulus and hardness of the layer were evaluated by a nanoindentation technique with a load of 250 mN. The paste dehydrate boriding of micro-alloy reveal a change of properties on the surface; also the coatings FeB and Fe2B, to make a sacrificial function in the steels micro alloyed as widely used in pipelines transporting oil.

Composition And Structure

The reaction of SiH4/H2 mixtures with iron and steels was studied at a total pressure of 1 atm and temperatures above 500 °C. When the amount of water vapor in the gas mixture is carefully controlled, a metal silicide diffusion coating forms at low temperatures (below 900°C). Composition and structure of the Si diffusion coatings were determined with Auger depth profiling and x-ray diffraction. Kinetics of the surface reaction between SiH4, and the metal substrate as well as the behavior of these films in severe environments at high temperatures were studied by a microgravimetric technique. Characterization of these Si coatings on iron, low carbon steel (1010), 9% Cr/1% Mo steel (alloy A182F9), and stainless steels (310) and their applications to reduce oxidation, nitriding, or coking at high temperatures or corrosion in mineral acids are described.

Wear Tests

In the present study, the surface of St52 steel was alloyed with preplaced powders Fe-Cr-C and Fe-Cr-Si-C by using a tungsten-inert gas (TIG) heat source. Then microstructure of the alloyed surfaces was investigated. Following the surface alloying, conventional characterization techniques, such as optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction were employed to study the microstructure of the alloyed surface. Microhardness measurements were performed across the alloyed zone. The tribological behavior of the coatings was compared in room temperature dry sliding wear tests. It was found that the as-deposited coatings consisted of higher volume fraction of carbides (Cr7C3). No crack formation was found on the coatings. As a result, TIG arc heat source can be used effectively for performing surface alloying on St52 steel with a preplaced powder in order to improve its surface wear resistance.
